2005 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 2703
耳 thоught Expert legal document formatter. Clean, semantic HTML. Three-page document (split across three screenshots/OCR). `Ewing v. ADF Construction Corp.` (The first case on page 1085 is a partial criminal case, so I must skip it and start with the full case: `Edward M. Ewing et al., Respondents, v ADF Construction Corporation, Appellant. [793 NYS2d 306]`). * Omit elements without data. * `midpage-case-name`: shortNаme=“Ewing v. ADF Construction Corp.” * `midpage-docket`: docket=“793 NYS2d 306” (This is the reporter cite, but it‘s the only identifier given besides the court). Wait, the OCR for the header shows it‘s from a reporter (p. 1085-1087). The citation is `793 NYS2d 306`. * `midpage-court`: court=“N.Y. App. Div.” (This is the Appellate Division, Fourth Department, based on the judges listed: Hurlbutt, Scudder, Kehoe, Pine, Hayes). * `midpage-date`: date=“2004-11-19” (Wait, looking at the OCR, page 1 says “entered May 11, 2004“. Actually, for New York Appellate Division reports, the decision date is usually listed, but here it says “entered May 11, 2004” referring to the Supreme Court order. The dеcision date for the AD case isn‘t explicitly on the header of the page shown, but usually, this volume [11 AD3d] corresponds to late 2004. Looking at the footer/metadata on the page: “793 NYS2d 306” is the citation. Let‘s look for a date. The Supreme Court order was May 11, 2004. Standard New York reporter style shows the AD decision date. It‘s not in the snippet. I‘ll omit the date if not provided in the snippet, or check if it‘s in the text. It‘s not. I‘ll omit `midpage-date` or use the citation year `2004` if certain, but the prompt says omit if no data.) * `midpage-citation`: 11 A.D.3d 1085 (based on the рage numbers 1085, 1086, 1087 and the context of the New York reports). Wait, the snippet doesn‘t show “11 AD3d“, it just shows the page number 1085. I‘ll use “793 NYS2d 306” as the primary citation as it‘s bracketed. * Page 1085: Starts with the conсlusion of a criminal case. Per instructions: “Skip partial content from a previous case that appears at the beginning of the document.” * Full Case starts at: “Edward M. Ewing et al., Respondents, v ADF CONSTRUCTION CORPORATION, Appellant. [793 NYS2d 306]—” * Present judges: Hurlbutt, J.P., Scudder, Kehoe, Pine and Hayes, JJ. * Appeal paragraph: “Appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Erie County (Patrick H. NeMoyer, J.), еntered May 11, 2004...” * Start `` before the case name. * Section: “It is hereby ordered...” * Section: “Memorandum:” * Reflow text, rejoin hyphens (e.g., ‍‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‍“construc- \ntion” -> “construction“, “addi- \ntional” -> “additional“, “assis- \ntance” -> “assistance“). * Citations: Wrap in `` or ``. * Jurisdiction: NY (New York). * Labor Law § 240 (1) -> `Labor Law § 240 (1)`. * 12 NYCRR 23-1.16 -> `12 NYCRR 23-1.16`. * Cases: `Baum v Ciminelli-Cowper Co., 300 AD2d 1028` etc. * *First part of page 1085:* Skip. * *Case Name:* Edward M. Ewing et al., Respondents, v ADF Construction Corporation, Appellant. * *Citation:* 793 NYS2d 306. * *Court:* Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Fourth Department (implied by the judges). Abbrev: `N.Y. App. Div.`. * *Appeal info:* Supreme Court, Erie County (Patrick H. NeMoyer, J.), entered May 11, 2004. * *Body text:* * Paragraph 1: “Appeal from an order...” * Paragraph 2 (Ordered): “It is hereby ordered...” * ‍‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‍Paragraph 3 (Memorandum): “Plaintiffs commenced this action...” * Paragraph 4: “We conclude that the court properly granted...” * Paragraph 5: “Contrary to defendant‘s further contention...” * Paragraph 6: “Defendant further contends...” * Paragraph 7: “We аgree with defendant, however...” * End of case list of judges. * Stop before the next case: “Jessica R. Newton...” * *Self-Correction on Pagination:* * Page 1085 starts after the details block. * Page 1086 starts mid-paragraph: “dismissing the complaint in a personal injury action.” * Page 1087 starts: “Co., 262 AD2d 945, 945 [1999];” * *Hyphen Rejoining:* * “construc- tion” -> “construction” * “assis- tance” -> “assistance” * “perfor- mance” -> “performance” (wait, this is in the criminal case, ignore). * “seek- ing” -> “seeking” * “ac- tion” -> “action” * “viola- tion” -> “violation” * “On- tario” -> “Ontario” * “dis- covery” -> “discovery” (Wait, OCR has “has discovepr” - checking screenshot... it says “discovery has“, OCR swapped words? Screenshot: “the fact that discovery has not been completed“. OCR page 3: “the fact that has discoveрr not been completed“. I must follow the *text* of the document exactly as per the screenshot, word order matters. Re-reading screenshot page 3: “Likewise, the fact that discovery has not been completed...“). * “can- not” -> “cannot” * “de- fendant” -> “defendant” * *Citation Check:* * `Labor Law § 240 (1)` -> `Labor Law § 240 (1)` * `CPLR 3212 [f]` -> `CPLR 3212 [f]` * `12 NYCRR 23-1.16` -> `12 NYCRR 23-1.16` * *Judge List at end:* `Present—Hurlbutt, J.P., Scudder, Kehoe, Pine and Hayes, JJ.` * *Check for images:* There are black boxes in the screenshots. These are likely redactions or filler in the original reporter. The prompt says “Convert the provided legal document... Skip partial content from a previous case... convert only the MAIN opinion“. The black boxes are masks for the user-provided images. I should treat them as content that is not рart of the main opinion. Page 1 has a black box at the top (previous case) and a large one in the middle (previous case stuff). I will skip these. * *Docket/Citation:* The prompt asks for `midpage-citation`. In New York, the reporter page is 1085, and the volume is not explicitly ‍‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‍shown but it‘s part of the Fourth Department reports (usually 11 A.D.3d). However, the citation рrovided in the bracket is `[793 NYS2d 306]`. I‘ll use that as the citation. * *Final review of OCR vs Screenshot:* * Page 3 OCR error: “the fact that has discovepr not been completed“. Screenshot: “the fact that discovery has not been completed“. Instruction says “preserve all content exactly” but also “Word order... if original is ‘error, either’ don‘t make it ‘either error,‘“. I will follow the sсreenshot text exactly. * Page 3 OCR: `[f]). CPLR 3212` vs Screenshot: `CPLR 3212 [f])`. Screenshot is correct. * *Case Citation Tags:* * `Baum v Ciminelli-Cowper Co., 300 AD2d 1028, 1029 [2002]` -> `Baum v Ciminelli-Cowper Co., 300 AD2d 1028, 1029 [2002]` * `Felker v Corning Inc., 90 NY2d 219, 224 [1997]` -> `Felker v Corning Inc., 90 NY2d 219, 224 [1997]` * `Gordon v Eastern Ry. Supply, 181 AD2d ‍‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‍990, 991 [1992], affd 82 NY2d 555 [1993]` -> `Gordon v Eastern Ry. Supply, 181 AD2d 990, 991 [1992], affd 82 NY2d 555 [1993]` * *Mid-paragraph page breaks:* * Page 1085 to 1086: Paragraph “Appeal from an order...” ends with “seek-“. Page 1086 starts with “ing“. This is mid-word. Rejoin word and place marker. `...cross motion seeking summary judgment...` * Page 1086 to 1087: Parаgraph “Contrary to defendant‘s...” ‍‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‍ends with “Constr.“. Page 1087 starts with “Co.,“. `...Garbade Constr.Co., 262 AD2d 945...` * *Law normalization:* * Labor Law § 240 (1) -> `N.Y. Lab. Law § 240(1)` * Labor Law § 200 -> `N.Y. Lab. Law § 200` * Labor Law § 241 (6) -> `N.Y. Lab. Law § 241(6)` * 12 NYCRR 23-1.16 -> `12 NYCRR 23-1.16` (Jurisdiction US or NY? NYCRR is New York Codes, Rules and Regulations. Jurisdiction=“NY“). * CPLR 3212 [f] -> `N.Y. C.P.L.R. 3212(f)` * *One nuance:* The court is not named explicitly in the header, but the judges (Hurlbutt, Scudder, Kehoe, Pine, Hayes) are the Appellate Division, Fourth Department. I‘ll use `court=“N.Y. Aрp. Div.“` as per standard Bluebook for AD cases. * *Citation list check:* * `Haystrand v County of Ontario, 207 AD2d 978, 978 [1994]` * `Waggoner v Lancet Arch, Inc., 291 AD2d 831 [2002]` * `Blake v Neighborhood Hous. Servs. of N.Y. City, 1 NY3d 280, 290 [2003]` * `Siago v Garbade Constr. Co., 262 AD2d 945, 945 [1999]` * `Williams v General Elec. Co., 8 AD3d 866, 867 [2004]` * `Rich v State of New York, 231 AD2d 942, 943 [1996]` * `Kulaszewski v Clinton Disposal Servs., 272 AD2d 855, 856 [2000]` * `Bagshaw v Network Serv. Mgt., 4 AD3d 831, 833 [2004]` * `Outwater v Ballister, 253 AD2d 902, 904 [1998]` * *Wait, screenshot page 3 word order check:* “Likewise, the fact that disсovery has not been completed...” OCR: “the fact that has discovepr not been completed” I will use the screenshot‘s correct English word order “discovery has not“. * *Case Infо shortName:* `shortName=“Ewing v. ADF Construction Corp.“` * *Case Info citation:* The page header says 1085, 1086, 1087. The decision has a NYS citation [793 NYS2d 306]. I will include both if possible, or just the main one. The prompt example shows the reporter citation. I‘ll use `793 N.Y.S.2d 306`. * *Metadata Date:* The Supreme Court order was May 11, 2004. This AD4 decision date is missing from the header, but the volume 11 AD3d covers October/Nоvember 2004. The specific decision date for these pages in 11 AD3d is Nov 19, 2004. However, if it‘s not in the snippet, should I include it? The prompt says “preserve all content exactly“. If it‘s not there, I skip it. I‘ll skip the `date` attribute in `midpage-date` or leave it out of Case Information. * *Final check on the list of judges:* It appears twice. Once at the end of the previous сase (Hurlbutt...) and once at the end of this case. I must skip the first list as it belongs to the skipped partial case. * *Reflow paragraph check:* “Appeal from an order...” to “sеeking summary judgment dismissing the complaint in a personal injury action.” This paragraph spans pages 1085 and 1086. Rejoining. * *Law citations in “Memorandum“:* * `Labor Law § 240 (1)` * `Labor Law § 200` * `Labor Law § 241 (6)` * `12 NYCRR 23-1.16` * *Citation `Waggoner, 291 AD2d at 831`*: This is a short form. I will attribute it to `Waggoner v. Lancet Arch, Inc.` cited previously. * *Citation `Gordon, affd 82 NY2d 555`*: “quoting Gordon v Eastern Ry. Supply, 181 AD2d 990, 991 [1992], affd 82 NY2d 555 [1993];” * *Wait, in page 1086 text:* `[1993];see` -> `[1993]; see`. (OCR missed space). Screenshot: `;see` (no sрace). I‘ll stick to the screenshot‘s lack of space if that‘s how it‘s printed, but usually there is one. Screenshot check: it looks like there‘s no space. `[1993];see`. * *Wait, pagе 1087:* `CPLR 3212 [f]` is cited as `[f]). CPLR 3212`. Re-evaluating screenshot 3. Text: “...discovery has not been completed does not provide a basis to defeat plaintiffs’ motion inasmuch as ‘[d]efendant[ ] failed to establish that ‘facts essential to justify opposition [to the motion] may exist but cannot then be stated’ ’ (Waggoner, 291 AD2d at 831, quoting CPLR 3212 [f]).” The OCR page 3 is messy. I will follow the screenshot word-for-word. * *Signature Block:* Not really a signature block, just the judge list: `Present—Hurlbutt, J.P., Scudder, Kehoe, Pine and Hayes, JJ.` This is equivalent to the panel listing. I‘ll put it in a paragraph. * *Case Info Court:* Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Fourth Department, New York. * *Law juris:* `NY` for Labor Law and CPLR. * *Final Structure check:* - Details (Case info) - `` - Caption/Heading - Appeal paragraph - Ordered paragraph - Memorandum paragraph (multiple) - Present list. * *One detail:* “Edward M. Ewing et al., Respondents, v ADF Construction Corporation, Appellant.” is the caption. It‘s often preceded by a docket marker or citation in brackets. `[793 NYS2d 306]`. * *Labor Law §§ 1331-1332* rule: normalize range to first section. * *Labor Law § 240 (1)* -> `cite=“N.Y. Lab. Law § 240(1)“`. Let‘s assemble.
