N.Y. Civil Practice Law & Rules § 6222: Discharge of attachment

§ 6222. Discharge of attachment. A defendant whose property or debt

has been levied upon may move, upon notice to the plaintiff and the

sheriff, for an order discharging the attachment as to all or a part of

the property or debt upon payment of the sheriff's fees and expenses. On

such a motion, the defendant shall give an undertaking, in an amount

equal to the value of the property or debt sought to be discharged, that

the defendant will pay to the plaintiff the amount of any judgment which

may be recovered in the action against him, not exceeding the amount of

the undertaking. Making a motion or giving an undertaking under this

section shall not of itself constitute an appearance in the action.
