N.Y. Criminal Procedure Law § 510.50: Enforcement of securing order

§ 510.50 Enforcement of securing order.

1. When the attendance of a principal confined in the custody of the

sheriff is required at the criminal action or proceeding at a particular

time and place, the court may compel such attendance by directing the

sheriff to produce the principal at such time and place. If the

principal is at liberty on the principal's own recognizance or

non-monetary conditions or on bail, the principal's attendance may be

achieved or compelled by various methods, including notification and the

issuance of a bench warrant, prescribed by law in provisions governing

such matters with respect to the particular kind of action or proceeding

involved.

2. Except when the principal is charged with a new crime while at

liberty, absent relevant, credible evidence demonstrating that a

principal's failure to appear for a scheduled court appearance was

willful, the court, prior to issuing a bench warrant for a failure to

appear for a scheduled court appearance, shall provide at least

forty-eight hours notice to the principal or the principal's counsel

that the principal is required to appear, in order to give the principal

an opportunity to appear voluntarily.
