In support of its motion for summary judgment, the plaintiff submitted an affidavit that was notarized outside of New York State and that was not accompanied by a certificate of conformity pursuant to CPLR 2309(c). This is not a fatal defect, as it may be corrected nunc pro tunc, or pursuant to CPLR 2001, which permits trial courts to disregard mistakes, omissions, defects, or irregularities at any time during an action where a substantial right of a party is not prejudiced.
