N.Y. Criminal Procedure Law § 410.60: Appearance before court

§ 410.60 Appearance before court.

A person who has been taken into custody pursuant to section 410.40 or

section 410.50 of this article for violation of a condition of a

sentence of probation or a sentence of conditional discharge must

forthwith be brought before the court that imposed the sentence. Where a

violation of probation petition and report has been filed and the person

has not been taken into custody nor has a warrant been issued, an

initial court appearance shall occur within ten business days of the

court's issuance of a notice to appear. If the court has reasonable

cause to believe that such person has violated a condition of the

sentence, it may commit such person to the custody of the sheriff, fix

bail, release such person under non-monetary conditions or release such

person on such person's own recognizance for future appearance at a

hearing to be held in accordance with section 410.70 of this article. If

the court does not have reasonable cause to believe that such person has

violated a condition of the sentence, it must direct that such person be

released.
