N.Y. Criminal Procedure Law § 510.30: Application for securing order; rules of law and criteria controlling determination

§ 510.30 Application for securing order; rules of law and criteria

controlling determination.

1. With respect to any principal, the court in all cases, unless

otherwise provided by law, must impose a securing order in accordance

with section 510.10 of this article, and shall explain the basis for its

determination and choice of securing order on the record or in writing.

2. Where the principal is a defendant-appellant in a pending appeal

from a judgment of conviction, the court must also consider the

likelihood of ultimate reversal of the judgment. A determination that

the appeal is palpably without merit alone justifies, but does not

require, a denial of the application, regardless of any determination

made with respect to the factors specified in subdivision one of this

section.

3. When bail or recognizance is ordered, the court shall inform the

principal, if the principal is a defendant charged with the commission

of a felony, that the release is conditional and that the court may

revoke the order of release and may be authorized to commit the

principal to the custody of the sheriff in accordance with the

provisions of subdivision two of section 530.60 of this chapter if the

principal commits a subsequent felony while at liberty upon such order.
