8 The form Notice of Limited Appearance used by the Housing
Court instructs attorneys participating in the Housing Court's
"lawyer for a day program" (LDP attorneys) to "identify the
discrete issues within the event covered by the appearance" by
checking one of several boxes. Here, the tenant's attorney
checked the box next to "[m]otion to vacate default judgment,"
but not the box next to "[m]ediation." Nonetheless, the LDP
attorney had been assisting the tenant in settlement talks that,
as she informed the judge, had been proceeding for several hours
prior to the trial. The landlord's settlement demand would have
required the tenant to pay the outstanding rent balance and move
out within a certain amount of time.
