N.Y.3d stands for New York Reports, Third Series, a legal citation abbreviation.

Official reports of the New York Court of Appeals, the state's highest court; the third series began in 2003. New York courts expect citations to the official reports, and the same decisions also appear in N.E.3d and N.Y.S.3d.

Example: Counsel added the N.Y.3d citation because New York courts insist on the official reports.

Usage notes

The New York Official Reports Style Manual omits periods and spaces (NY3d) and puts the year in square brackets inside a parenthetical. N.Y.2d covered 1956 to 2003. The Court of Appeals sits in Albany with seven judges; the state's "Supreme Court" is a trial court.
