N.Y. Criminal Procedure Law § 570.50: Written waiver of extradition proceedings

§ 570.50 Written waiver of extradition proceedings.

Any person arrested in this state charged with having committed any

crime in another state or alleged to have escaped from confinement, or

broken the terms of his bail, probation or parole, may waive the

issuance and service of the warrant provided for in sections 570.18 and

570.20 and all other procedure incidental to extradition proceedings by

executing or subscribing in the presence of a judge of any court of

record within this state a writing which states that he consents to

return to the demanding state, provided, however, that before such

waiver shall be executed or subscribed by such person it shall be the

duty of such judge to inform such person of his rights to the issuance

and service of a warrant of extradition and to obtain a writ of habeas

corpus as provided for in section 570.24.

If and when such consent has been duly executed it shall forthwith be

forwarded to the office of the secretary of state of this state and

filed therein. The judge shall direct the officer having such person in

custody to deliver forthwith such person to the duly accredited agent or

agents of the demanding state, and shall deliver or cause to be

delivered to such agent or agents a copy of such consent. Provided,

however, that nothing in this section shall be deemed to limit the

rights of the accused person to return voluntarily and without formality

to the demanding state, nor shall this waiver procedure be deemed to be

an exclusive procedure or to limit the powers, rights or duties of the

officers of the demanding state or of this state.
