In People v. Walters, 46 Misc 3d 295 (Crim Ct, Bronx County 2014), the defendant sought leave to renew and reargue the court's oral decision seven months after its issuance. The defendant argued that the motion was timely since notice of entry had not been filed. The court expressed concerns regarding "defendant's position and its general effect on criminal practice. Id. at 297. The court noted the procedural differences between civil practice and criminal practice and held that "when dealing with an oral order in a criminal matter that renders a final order or decision, the renewal and/or reargument time should start from the point the decision and order is made not when reduced to writing." Id. at 298.
