N.Y. Insurance Law Section 7417
Commencement of a proceeding

The superintendent represented by the attorney general shall commence any proceeding under this article by an application to the supreme court, in the judicial district in which the principal office of the insurer is located, for an order directing such insurer to show cause why the superintendent should not have the requested relief. On the return of such order, and after a full hearing, which shall be held without delay, such court shall either deny the application or grant it together with such other relief as the nature of the case and the interests of policyholders, creditors, shareholders, members, or the public may require.
