N.Y. New York City Civil Court Act § 1610: Discipline, suspension and removal on charges

§ 1610. Discipline, suspension and removal on charges. The appellate

division may discipline by reprimand or censure, or may temporarily

suspend or permanently remove any marshal for cause, provided that

written charges are first filed with said court, and that the marshal be

given due notice thereof and be afforded an opportunity to be heard at a

full and complete hearing. The appellate division may, in its

discretion, suspend a marshal from the performance of his or her

official duties pending a hearing upon the charges. Upon charges being

preferred against a marshal by a judge of the appellate division, such

court shall forthwith cause notice of suspension of the marshal to be

served upon him or her, and the marshal shall thereupon remain suspended

until the hearing and determination of the charges. Such hearing shall

be held within sixty days from the date of service of notice of

suspension upon a marshal, except that the period of time prescribed

herein may be extended for good cause shown upon application. In lieu of

discipline by temporary suspension or removal, the appellate division

may assess a fine, not to exceed five hundred dollars, against any

marshal who has been found, after a hearing, to be in violation of the

provisions of this article or of the rules and regulations promulgated

pursuant thereto.
