N.Y. Penal Law § 460.80: Court ordered disclosure

§ 460.80 Court ordered disclosure.

Notwithstanding the provisions of article two hundred forty-five of

the criminal procedure law, when forfeiture is sought pursuant to

section 460.30 of this article, the court may order discovery of any

property not otherwise disclosed which is material and reasonably

necessary for preparation by the defendant with respect to the

forfeiture proceeding pursuant to such section. The court may issue a

protective order denying, limiting, conditioning, delaying or regulating

such discovery where a danger to the integrity of physical evidence or a

substantial risk of physical harm, intimidation, economic reprisal,

bribery or unjustified annoyance or embarrassment to any person or an

adverse effect upon the legitimate needs of law enforcement, including

the protection of the confidentiality of informants, or any other factor

or set of factors outweighs the usefulness of the discovery.
