N.Y. New York City Civil Court Act § 1604: Bond of marshal

§ 1604. Bond of marshal. (a) No marshal shall be permitted to enter

upon the duties of his office until he shall have given a bond as herein

prescribed. The bond shall be executed by the marshal with two

sufficient sureties, who shall be residents of the city of New York and

each of whom shall be the owner of real estate therein of the value of

double the penalty of the bond. The penalty of the bond shall be the sum

of sixty thousand dollars. Except as hereinafter provided, beginning

July first, nineteen hundred ninety-nine, the penalty of the bond shall

increase to the sum of eighty thousand dollars and beginning July first,

two thousand, the penalty of the bond shall increase to the sum of one

hundred thousand dollars. If on June thirtieth, nineteen hundred

ninety-nine the provisions of subdivision (s-1) of section one hundred

five of the civil practice law and rules and paragraph b of subdivision

one of section sixteen hundred nine of the New York city civil court act

are repealed pursuant to section three of chapter four hundred

fifty-five of the laws of nineteen hundred ninety-seven, the penalty of

the bond shall remain sixty thousand dollars and shall not increase to

the sum of eighty thousand dollars on July first, nineteen hundred

ninety-nine or to the sum of one hundred thousand dollars on July first,

two thousand. The bond shall provide that the marshal and the sureties

shall jointly and severally answer to the city of New York and any

persons that may complain, for the true and faithful execution by such

marshal of the duties of his office. The bond shall be submitted for

approval to a judge of the court and such judge shall have power to

require that the sureties justify before him within five days after the

bond shall have been submitted, and shall approve or reject the bond

within five days thereafter. When so approved, the bond shall be filed

with the city clerk of the city of New York. A marshal already qualified

for and in office on any date upon which the penalty of the bond shall

increase pursuant to this subdivision shall within thirty days after

such date file with the city clerk an additional bond, otherwise

executed as provided for herein and approved by a judge of the court, in

an amount sufficient to bring the total amount of such bond to the

penalty amount provided in this subdivision.

(b) The bond must be executed, approved and filed within thirty days

after the appointment of the marshal or he shall be deemed to have

declined his appointment and another person shall be appointed in his

place.
