Narrative:
While on new york approach control at 6000 ft, we were given a heading of 110 degrees. The controller came back after we were on the 110 degree heading and told us to turn right to a heading of 250 degrees and climb and maintain 9000 ft. During the turn, he came back on and said to maintain 7000 ft for traffic. We leveled at 7000 ft. The controller came back and gave us the traffic and asked if we had him. I said no, that we were looking. We got a TA and an RA and the traffic was shown at 500 ft above us and about 2.5 mi away. The TCASII told us to 'monitor vertical speed' and had us stay at 7000 ft. We maintained 7000 ft until instructed to climb by the controller. We did not deviate from any controller instructions or clrncs.

Title: TCASII RA RESULTS WHEN B757 IS LEVELED OFF 500 FT BELOW AND 10000 FT HORIZ FROM ANOTHER ACFT IN A CLASS B AIRSPACE ON FREQ WITH N90 APCH CTL.
Narrative: WHILE ON NEW YORK APCH CTL AT 6000 FT, WE WERE GIVEN A HDG OF 110 DEGS. THE CTLR CAME BACK AFTER WE WERE ON THE 110 DEG HDG AND TOLD US TO TURN R TO A HDG OF 250 DEGS AND CLB AND MAINTAIN 9000 FT. DURING THE TURN, HE CAME BACK ON AND SAID TO MAINTAIN 7000 FT FOR TFC. WE LEVELED AT 7000 FT. THE CTLR CAME BACK AND GAVE US THE TFC AND ASKED IF WE HAD HIM. I SAID NO, THAT WE WERE LOOKING. WE GOT A TA AND AN RA AND THE TFC WAS SHOWN AT 500 FT ABOVE US AND ABOUT 2.5 MI AWAY. THE TCASII TOLD US TO 'MONITOR VERT SPD' AND HAD US STAY AT 7000 FT. WE MAINTAINED 7000 FT UNTIL INSTRUCTED TO CLB BY THE CTLR. WE DID NOT DEVIATE FROM ANY CTLR INSTRUCTIONS OR CLRNCS.
