The reporter date for 971 NYS2d 334 or 104 AD3d 839 etc is not the case date. Looking at the context, this is an Appellate Division, Second Department case. Wait, the OCR for the header is cut off. The citation provided is [971 NYS2d 334]. * Citation: 971 N.Y.S.2d 334 (also appears in 104 AD3d 839 based on the text logic, though 104 AD3d 839 is cited inside). Actually, looking at the top: Page 885. This looks like a volume of the Official Reports or NYS2d. *Let's refine Case Info based on the text:* * Appellant: Moshe Mishal * Respondent: Fiduciary Holdings, LLC * Court: NY App. Div. (based on the panel names) * Citation: 971 N.Y.S.2d 334 * Date: September 11, 2009 is the date of the order *being appealed*. Usually, the opinion date is different. I will check the metadata provided. The text says "dated September 11, 2009". The opinion date isn't explicitly on the page. I'll use the citation date or year if available. Wait, looking at internal cites: "Solomon v Burden, 104 AD3d 839 [2013]". This means the current case must be 2013 or later. However, the instruction says "Preserve formatting exactly...

Mastro, J.P., Skelos, Balkin and Leventhal, JJ., concur.

``` Wait, the previous case's panel also has "Mastro, J.P., Skelos, Balkin and Leventhal, JJ., concur." Mishal case starts with "Moshe Mishal, Appellant..." and ends with "Mastro, J.P., Skelos, Balkin and Leventhal, JJ., concur." Final check on Law citations in NY: - NY CPLR: N.Y. C.P.L.R. - NY General Obligations Law: N.Y. Gen. Oblig. Law Let's go. *Pagination placement:* First page is 885. Second page is 886. Start with `` after ``. Page 886 starts at the word "Computerized". *Wait, Multi-Opinion rule:* "Skip partial content from a previous case that appears at the beginning of the document." Case 1 is partial. Starts at 885: "prima facie, that it did not supply...". Skip. Case 2 is complete. Starts at 885: "MOSHE MISHAL...". This is our target. Case 3 is partial. Starts at bottom of 886: "GERSON NEUMAN...". Skip. *Metadata Details:* - `case-name`: MOSHE MISHAL, Appellant, v FIDUCIARY HOLDINGS, LLC, Respondent, et al., Defendants. - `docket`: None provided. - `court`: N.Y. App. Div. - `date`: The citation year is not given in the heading. The latest case cited is 2013 (*Solomon v Burden*). The citation provided is [971 NYS2d 334]. Checking that citation, it is indeed a 2013 case. Decided April 17, 2013. But the prompt says "Preserve formatting exactly... Extract metadata here, don't repeat in body". Since the date isn't in the heading but the year 2013 is in an internal cite, and the citation is NYS2d, I will leave the date attribute empty if not clearly on the page as "Decided April 17, 2013". Wait, the instructions say: `midpage-date: date attribute in YYYY-MM-DD format`. If I don't have it, I'll omit the element. I'll check the metadata from the top. 885. [971 NYS2d 334]. Wait, I see "September 11, 2009" but that is the lower court date. I won't use that for the opinion date. I will use `cite="971 N.Y.S.2d 334"`. *Revisiting the [971 NYS2d 334] notation:* It's in brackets in the caption. I'll include it in the `

Instruction says: `Court and date parenthetical` goes inside. NY uses brackets for year. It's the date identifier. It should go inside. `[2013]` -> `date="2013"` attribute and text inside. *Metadata check:* Docket: Not found. Date: Not found in heading. Court: N.Y. App. Div. *Wait, the court in Kings County is Supreme Court.* The caption shows the Appeal: "the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County...". This makes the deciding court the Appellate Division. *Paragraph construction:* - "Ordered that..." (italicized? No, looks regular in image). - "The plaintiff met his initial burden..." - "As an initial matter..." (spans p1-p2). Let's start. *Wait, Law Citation jurisdiction normalization:* - CPLR 3025 (b) -> `jurisdiction="NY" cite="N.Y.
