Federal Court Practice in the Southern District of New York
John Fabiani of New York, NY practices within the geographic jurisdiction of the Southern District of New York (SDNY), the United States district court that hears civil and criminal matters arising from New York, NY and the surrounding territory comprising the SDNY.
The principal courthouse for the SDNY is located at 500 Pearl Street, New York, NY 10007 (official court website). Filings in this district are subject to the district's local civil and criminal rules in addition to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.
John Fabiani's bankruptcy practice in the SDNY typically involves matters governed by the district's bankruptcy caseload, including pretrial motion practice, discovery scheduling under the district's standing orders, and trial proceedings before an Article III district judge or a magistrate judge by consent of the parties under 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).
Appellate Path: Second Circuit
Adverse rulings from federal trial courts in New York are reviewable on direct appeal by the Second Circuit, sitting in New York, NY. John Fabiani's federal practice may include direct merits appeals under Fed. R. App. P. 4, petitions for panel rehearing or rehearing en banc under Fed. R. App. P. 35 and 40, and — in qualifying matters — petitions for a writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court of the United States under Sup. Ct. R. 10.
Federal appellate practice differs materially from state-court appellate practice: briefing length, standards of review (de novo, clear error, abuse of discretion, plain error), and oral-argument allotments are governed by the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure and the Second Circuit's local circuit rules. Bankruptcy appeals from the SDNY are docketed at the Second Circuit and decided either after oral argument or on the briefs depending on the panel's screening determination.
What Bankruptcy Practice Looks Like in New York
A bankruptcy matter in SDNY typically begins with a complaint, indictment, or petition that triggers strict deadlines under the applicable federal rules. John Fabiani guides clients through each procedural milestone — initial disclosures, scheduling conferences, dispositive motions, discovery cutoffs, and pretrial conference orders — that distinguish SDNY practice from analogous state-court litigation in New York.
