N.Y. C.P.L.R. 3023

Rule 3023. Construction of verified pleading. The allegations or\ndenials in a verified pleading must, in form, be stated to be made by\nthe party pleading. Unless they are stated to be made upon the\ninformation and belief of the party, they must be regarded for all\npurposes, including a criminal prosecution, as having been made upon the\nknowledge of the person verifying the pleading. An allegation that the\nparty has not sufficient knowledge or information to form a belief with\nrespect to a matter, must, for the same purposes, be regarded as an\nallegation that the person verifying the pleading has not such knowledge\nor information.\n
