  1. ANY DISCOVERY SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER. UPON A SHOWING  OF  GOOD
CAUSE BY EITHER PARTY, THE COURT MAY AT ANY TIME ORDER THAT DISCOVERY OR
INSPECTION  OF ANY KIND OF MATERIAL OR INFORMATION UNDER THIS ARTICLE BE
DENIED, RESTRICTED, CONDITIONED OR DEFERRED, OR MAKE SUCH OTHER ORDER AS
IS  APPROPRIATE.  THE  COURT MAY IMPOSE AS A CONDITION ON DISCOVERY TO A
DEFENDANT THAT THE MATERIAL OR INFORMATION TO BE DISCOVERED BE AVAILABLE
ONLY TO COUNSEL FOR THE DEFENDANT; OR, ALTERNATIVELY, THAT  COUNSEL  FOR
THE  DEFENDANT, AND PERSONS EMPLOYED BY THE ATTORNEY OR APPOINTED BY THE
COURT TO ASSIST IN THE  PREPARATION  OF  A  DEFENDANT'S  CASE,  MAY  NOT
DISCLOSE PHYSICAL COPIES OF THE DISCOVERABLE DOCUMENTS TO A DEFENDANT OR
TO  ANYONE  ELSE,  PROVIDED  THAT  THE PROSECUTION AFFORDS THE DEFENDANT
ACCESS TO INSPECT REDACTED COPIES OF THE  DISCOVERABLE  DOCUMENTS  AT  A
SUPERVISED  LOCATION THAT PROVIDES REGULAR AND REASONABLE HOURS FOR SUCH
ACCESS, SUCH AS A  PROSECUTOR'S  OFFICE,  POLICE  STATION,  FACILITY  OF
DETENTION, OR COURT.  THE COURT MAY PERMIT A PARTY SEEKING OR OPPOSING A
PROTECTIVE  ORDER  UNDER  THIS  SECTION,  OR ANOTHER AFFECTED PERSON, TO
SUBMIT PAPERS OR TESTIFY ON THE RECORD EX PARTE OR IN CAMERA.  ANY  SUCH
PAPERS  AND  A  TRANSCRIPT  OF  SUCH  TESTIMONY  MAY BE SEALED AND SHALL
CONSTITUTE A PART OF THE RECORD ON APPEAL. THIS SECTION DOES  NOT  ALTER
THE  ALLOCATION  OF THE BURDEN OF PROOF WITH REGARD TO MATTERS AT ISSUE,
INCLUDING PRIVILEGE.
  2. MODIFICATION OF TIME PERIODS FOR DISCOVERY. UPON MOTION OF A  PARTY
IN  AN INDIVIDUAL CASE, THE COURT MAY ALTER THE TIME PERIODS FOR DISCOV-
ERY IMPOSED BY THIS ARTICLE UPON A SHOWING OF GOOD CAUSE.
  3. SHOWING OF GOOD CAUSE. GOOD CAUSE UNDER THIS  SECTION  MAY  INCLUDE
CONSTITUTIONAL  RIGHTS  OR LIMITATIONS; DANGER TO THE INTEGRITY OF PHYS-
ICAL EVIDENCE;  A  SUBSTANTIAL  RISK  OF  PHYSICAL  HARM,  INTIMIDATION,
ECONOMIC  REPRISAL, BRIBERY OR UNJUSTIFIED ANNOYANCE OR EMBARRASSMENT TO
ANY PERSON; A SUBSTANTIAL RISK OF AN ADVERSE EFFECT UPON THE  LEGITIMATE
NEEDS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT, INCLUDING THE PROTECTION OF THE CONFIDENTIALI-
TY  OF  INFORMANTS; DANGER TO ANY PERSON STEMMING FROM FACTORS SUCH AS A
DEFENDANT'S  GANG  AFFILIATION,  PRIOR  HISTORY  OF   INTERFERING   WITH
WITNESSES,  OR  THREATS  OR  INTIMIDATING  ACTIONS DIRECTED AT POTENTIAL
WITNESSES; OR OTHER SIMILAR FACTORS THAT ALSO OUTWEIGH THE USEFULNESS OF
THE DISCOVERY.
  4. SUCCESSOR COUNSEL OR PRO SE DEFENDANT. IN CASES IN WHICH THE ATTOR-
NEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP IS TERMINATED PRIOR TO TRIAL FOR ANY REASON, ANY
MATERIAL OR INFORMATION DISCLOSED SUBJECT TO  A  CONDITION  THAT  IT  BE
AVAILABLE ONLY TO COUNSEL FOR THE DEFENDANT, OR LIMITED IN DISSEMINATION
BY  PROTECTIVE  ORDER  OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE PROVIDED ONLY TO SUCCESSOR
COUNSEL FOR THE DEFENDANT UNDER THE SAME CONDITION OR BE RETURNED TO THE
PROSECUTION, UNLESS THE COURT RULES OTHERWISE FOR GOOD  CAUSE  SHOWN  OR
THE PROSECUTOR GIVES WRITTEN CONSENT. ANY WORK PRODUCT DERIVED FROM SUCH
MATERIAL  OR  INFORMATION SHALL NOT BE PROVIDED TO THE DEFENDANT, UNLESS
THE COURT RULES OTHERWISE OR THE PROSECUTOR GIVES  WRITTEN  CONSENT.  IF
THE  DEFENDANT IS ACTING AS HIS OR HER OWN ATTORNEY, THE COURT MAY REGU-
LATE THE TIME, PLACE AND MANNER OF ACCESS TO ANY  DISCOVERABLE  MATERIAL
OR  INFORMATION; AND IT MAY AS APPROPRIATE APPOINT PERSONS TO ASSIST THE
DEFENDANT IN THE INVESTIGATION OR PREPARATION OF THE CASE.  UPON  MOTION
OR  APPLICATION  OF  A  DEFENDANT ACTING AS HIS OR HER OWN ATTORNEY, THE
COURT MAY AT ANY TIME MODIFY OR  VACATE  ANY  CONDITION  OR  RESTRICTION
RELATING  TO  ACCESS  TO  DISCOVERABLE MATERIAL OR INFORMATION, FOR GOOD
CAUSE SHOWN.
  5. EXPEDITED REVIEW OF ADVERSE RULING. (A) A PARTY THAT HAS UNSUCCESS-
FULLY SOUGHT, OR UNSUCCESSFULLY OPPOSED THE GRANTING  OF,  A  PROTECTIVE
ORDER UNDER THIS SECTION RELATING TO THE NAME, ADDRESS, CONTACT INFORMA-

A. 6795                             3

TION  OR  STATEMENTS  OF  A  PERSON  MAY OBTAIN EXPEDITED REVIEW OF THAT
RULING BY AN INDIVIDUAL JUSTICE OF THE INTERMEDIATE APPELLATE  COURT  TO
WHICH  AN  APPEAL  FROM  A  JUDGMENT  OF CONVICTION IN THE CASE WOULD BE
TAKEN.
  (B)  SUCH  REVIEW  SHALL  BE  SOUGHT  WITHIN  TWO BUSINESS DAYS OF THE
ADVERSE OR PARTIALLY ADVERSE RULING, BY ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE  FILED  WITH
THE INTERMEDIATE APPELLATE COURT. THE ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE SHALL IN ADDI-
TION  BE TIMELY SERVED ON THE LOWER COURT AND ON THE OPPOSING PARTY, AND
SHALL BE ACCOMPANIED BY A SWORN AFFIRMATION STATING IN  GOOD  FAITH  (I)
THAT  THE  RULING  AFFECTS SUBSTANTIAL INTERESTS, AND (II) THAT DILIGENT
EFFORTS TO REACH AN ACCOMMODATION OF THE  UNDERLYING  DISCOVERY  DISPUTE
WITH  OPPOSING  COUNSEL  FAILED  OR  THAT NO ACCOMMODATION WAS FEASIBLE;
EXCEPT THAT SERVICE ON THE OPPOSING PARTY,  AND  A  STATEMENT  REGARDING
EFFORTS  TO  REACH  AN ACCOMMODATION, ARE UNNECESSARY WHERE THE OPPOSING
PARTY WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE APPLICATION FOR A PROTECTIVE  ORDER  AND
GOOD CAUSE EXISTS FOR OMITTING SERVICE OF THE ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE ON THE
OPPOSING  PARTY.  THE  LOWER  COURT'S  ORDER  SUBJECT TO REVIEW SHALL BE
STAYED UNTIL THE APPELLATE JUSTICE RENDERS DECISION.
  (C) THE ASSIGNMENT OF THE INDIVIDUAL APPELLATE JUSTICE, AND  THE  MODE
OF AND PROCEDURE FOR THE REVIEW, ARE DETERMINED BY RULES OF THE INDIVID-
UAL  APPELLATE  COURTS.  THE APPELLATE JUSTICE MAY CONSIDER ANY RELEVANT
AND RELIABLE INFORMATION BEARING ON THE ISSUE,  AND  MAY  DISPENSE  WITH
WRITTEN  BRIEFS  OTHER THAN SUPPORTING AND OPPOSING MATERIALS PREVIOUSLY
SUBMITTED TO THE LOWER COURT. THE APPELLATE JUSTICE  MAY  DISPENSE  WITH
THE  ISSUANCE OF A WRITTEN OPINION IN RENDERING HIS OR HER DECISION, AND
WHEN PRACTICABLE SHALL RENDER DECISION EXPEDITIOUSLY.  SUCH  REVIEW  AND
DECISION  SHALL  NOT  AFFECT  THE  RIGHT OF A DEFENDANT, IN A SUBSEQUENT
APPEAL FROM A JUDGMENT OF CONVICTION,  TO  CLAIM  AS  ERROR  THE  RULING
REVIEWED.
  6. COMPLIANCE WITH PROTECTIVE ORDER. ANY PROTECTIVE ORDER ISSUED UNDER

ABOUT  THE  EXISTENCE  OF  ANY  FAVORABLE EVIDENCE OR INFORMATION WITHIN

S 245.75 CONTINUING DUTY TO DISCLOSE.
  IF EITHER THE PROSECUTION OR  THE  DEFENDANT  SUBSEQUENTLY  LEARNS  OF

PREVIOUS DISCOVERY OBLIGATION OR DISCOVERY ORDER, IT SHALL EXPEDITIOUSLY
NOTIFY THE OTHER PARTY AND DISCLOSE THE ADDITIONAL MATERIAL OR  INFORMA-
TION  AS  REQUIRED  FOR  INITIAL  DISCOVERY  UNDER  THIS  ARTICLE.  THIS

S 245.80 WORK PRODUCT.
  THIS ARTICLE DOES NOT AUTHORIZE DISCOVERY BY A PARTY OF THOSE PORTIONS

OR  CONCLUSIONS  OF  THE ADVERSE PARTY OR ITS ATTORNEY OR THE ATTORNEY'S

RIZED  IN ANY WRITING OR RECORDING, MADE TO THE ATTORNEY FOR THE DEFEND-
ANT OR THE ATTORNEY'S AGENTS.
S 245.85 AVAILABILITY OF REMEDIES FOR VIOLATIONS.
  1. NEED FOR REMEDY. (A) WHEN MATERIAL OR INFORMATION  IS  DISCOVERABLE
UNDER THIS ARTICLE BUT IS DISCLOSED BELATEDLY, THE COURT SHALL IMPOSE AN
APPROPRIATE REMEDY IF THE PARTY ENTITLED TO DISCLOSURE SHOWS THAT IT WAS
SIGNIFICANTLY  PREJUDICED.  IF  THE UNTIMELY DISCLOSURE OCCURRED BECAUSE
THE PARTY RESPONSIBLE FAILED TO  MAKE  REASONABLY  DILIGENT  EFFORTS  TO
COMPLY  WITH  THIS ARTICLE, THE COURT HAS DISCRETION TO IMPOSE AN APPRO-
PRIATE REMEDY IF THE PARTY ENTITLED TO DISCLOSURE SHOWS SOME  PREJUDICE.
REGARDLESS  OF  A  SHOWING OF PREJUDICE THE PARTY ENTITLED TO DISCLOSURE
SHALL BE GIVEN REASONABLE TIME TO PREPARE AND RESPOND TO THE NEW MATERI-
AL.
  (B) WHEN MATERIAL OR INFORMATION IS DISCOVERABLE  UNDER  THIS  ARTICLE
BUT CANNOT BE DISCLOSED BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN LOST OR DESTROYED, THE COURT
SHALL  IMPOSE  AN APPROPRIATE REMEDY IF THE PARTY ENTITLED TO DISCLOSURE

A. 6795                            14

SHOWS THAT THE LOST OR DESTROYED MATERIAL MAY HAVE CONTAINED SOME INFOR-
MATION RELEVANT TO A CONTESTED ISSUE. THE  APPROPRIATE  REMEDY  IS  THAT
WHICH  IS  PROPORTIONATE  TO  THE  POTENTIAL  WAYS  IN WHICH THE LOST OR
DESTROYED MATERIAL REASONABLY COULD HAVE BEEN HELPFUL TO THE PARTY ENTI-
TLED TO DISCLOSURE.
  2.  AVAILABLE REMEDIES. FOR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ANY DISCOVERY ORDER
IMPOSED OR ISSUED PURSUANT TO THIS ARTICLE, THE COURT MAY MAKE A FURTHER
ORDER FOR DISCOVERY, GRANT  A  CONTINUANCE,  ORDER  THAT  A  HEARING  BE
REOPENED,  ORDER THAT A WITNESS BE CALLED OR RECALLED, INSTRUCT THE JURY
THAT IT MAY DRAW  AN  ADVERSE  INFERENCE  REGARDING  THE  NONCOMPLIANCE,
PRECLUDE  OR  STRIKE  A  WITNESS'S TESTIMONY OR A PORTION OF A WITNESS'S
TESTIMONY, ADMIT OR  EXCLUDE  EVIDENCE,  ORDER  A  MISTRIAL,  ORDER  THE
DISMISSAL  OF ALL OR SOME OF THE CHARGES, OR MAKE SUCH OTHER ORDER AS IT
DEEMS JUST UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES; EXCEPT THAT ANY SANCTION AGAINST THE
DEFENDANT SHALL COMPORT WITH THE  DEFENDANT'S  CONSTITUTIONAL  RIGHT  TO
PRESENT  A  DEFENSE,  AND  PRECLUDING  A DEFENSE WITNESS FROM TESTIFYING
SHALL BE PERMISSIBLE ONLY UPON A FINDING THAT THE DEFENDANT'S FAILURE TO
COMPLY WITH THE DISCOVERY OBLIGATION OR ORDER WAS WILLFUL AND  MOTIVATED
BY A DESIRE TO OBTAIN A TACTICAL ADVANTAGE.
  3.  CONSEQUENCES  OF  NONDISCLOSURE  OF STATEMENT OF TESTIFYING PROSE-
CUTION WITNESS. THE FAILURE OF THE PROSECUTOR OR ANY AGENT OF THE PROSE-
CUTOR TO DISCLOSE ANY WRITTEN OR RECORDED STATEMENT  MADE  BY  A  PROSE-
CUTION  WITNESS  WHICH  RELATES  TO  THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE WITNESS'S
TESTIMONY SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE GROUNDS FOR ANY  COURT  TO  ORDER  A  NEW
PRE-TRIAL  HEARING  OR  SET  ASIDE  A  CONVICTION, OR REVERSE, MODIFY OR
VACATE A JUDGMENT OF CONVICTION, IN THE ABSENCE  OF  A  SHOWING  BY  THE
DEFENDANT THAT THERE IS A REASONABLE POSSIBILITY THAT THE NON-DISCLOSURE
MATERIALLY  CONTRIBUTED  TO THE RESULT OF THE TRIAL OR OTHER PROCEEDING;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NOTHING IN THIS SECTION SHALL  AFFECT  OR  LIMIT
ANY  RIGHT  THE  DEFENDANT MAY HAVE TO A REOPENED PRE-TRIAL HEARING WHEN
SUCH STATEMENTS WERE DISCLOSED BEFORE THE CLOSE OF EVIDENCE AT TRIAL.
S  245.90 ADMISSIBILITY OF DISCOVERY.
  THE FACT THAT A PARTY HAS INDICATED DURING THE  DISCOVERY  PROCESS  AN
INTENTION  TO OFFER SPECIFIED EVIDENCE OR TO CALL A SPECIFIED WITNESS IS
NOT ADMISSIBLE IN EVIDENCE OR GROUNDS FOR ADVERSE COMMENT AT  A  HEARING
OR A TRIAL.
  S 3. Subdivision 1 of section 255.20 of the criminal procedure law, as
amended  by  chapter  369  of  the  laws  of 1982, is amended to read as

ant is represented by counsel or elects to proceed pro se, all pre-trial
motions shall be served or filed within forty-five days  after  arraign-
ment and before commencement of trial, or within such additional time as
the  court may fix upon application of the defendant made prior to entry
of judgment.  In an action in which EITHER (A) MATERIAL  OR  INFORMATION
HAS  BEEN DISCLOSED PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPHS (C) OR (H) OF SUBDIVISION TWO
OF SECTION 245.20, (B) an eavesdropping  warrant  and  application  have
been  furnished  pursuant to section 700.70 or (C) a notice of intention
to introduce evidence has been served pursuant to section  710.30,  such
period  shall  be  extended until forty-five days after the last date of
such service.  If the defendant is not represented by  counsel  and  has
requested  an adjournment to obtain counsel or to have counsel assigned,
such forty-five day period shall commence on the date counsel  initially
appears on defendant's behalf.
  S  4. Subdivision 8 of section 450.20 of the criminal procedure law is

PURSUANT TO SECTION 710.30; provided that the people file a statement in
the appellate court pursuant to section 450.50.
  S  5.  Section 450.50 of the criminal procedure law is amended to read
as follows:
S 450.50 Appeal by people from order suppressing OR PRECLUDING evidence;
           filing of statement in appellate court.
  1.  In taking an appeal, pursuant  to  subdivision  eight  of  section
450.20,  to  an intermediate appellate court from an order of a criminal
court suppressing OR PRECLUDING evidence, the people must file, in addi-
tion to a notice of appeal or, as the  case  may  be,  an  affidavit  of
errors,  a  statement  asserting  that the deprivation of the use of the
evidence ordered suppressed OR PRECLUDED has rendered  the  sum  of  the
proof  available  to  the people with respect to a criminal charge which
has been filed in the court either (a) insufficient as a matter of  law,
or (b) so weak in its entirety that any reasonable possibility of prose-
cuting such charge to a conviction has been effectively destroyed.
  2.    The  taking  of an appeal by the people, pursuant to subdivision
eight of  section  450.20,  from  an  order  suppressing  OR  PRECLUDING
evidence  constitutes a bar to the prosecution of the accusatory instru-
ment involving the evidence ordered suppressed OR PRECLUDED, unless  and
until  such  suppression OR PRECLUSION order is reversed upon appeal and
vacated.
  S 6. Subdivision 3 of section 610.20 of the criminal procedure law  is
amended and a new subdivision 4 is added to read as follows:
  3.  An attorney for a defendant in a criminal action or proceeding, as
an  officer  of  a  criminal  court, may issue a subpoena of such court,
subscribed by himself, for the attendance in such court of  any  witness
whom the defendant is entitled to call in such action or proceeding.  An
attorney  for  a  defendant  may not issue a subpoena duces tecum of the
court directed to any department, bureau or agency of the state or of  a
political subdivision thereof, or to any officer or representative ther-
eof,  UNLESS THE SUBPOENA IS INDORSED BY THE COURT AND PROVIDES AT LEAST
THREE DAYS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF THE REQUESTED MATERIALS. IN THE CASE OF
AN EMERGENCY, THE  COURT  MAY  BY  ORDER  DISPENSE  WITH  THE  THREE-DAY
PRODUCTION PERIOD.  [Such a subpoena duces tecum may be issued in behalf
of a defendant upon order of a court pursuant to the rules applicable to
civil  cases  as  provided  in section twenty-three hundred seven of the
civil practice law and rules.]
  4. THE SHOWING REQUIRED TO SUSTAIN ANY SUBPOENA UNDER THIS SECTION  IS
THAT  THE  TESTIMONY OR EVIDENCE SOUGHT IS REASONABLY LIKELY TO BE RELE-
VANT AND MATERIAL TO THE PROCEEDINGS, AND THE SUBPOENA IS NOT  OVERBROAD
OR UNREASONABLY BURDENSOME.
  S  7.  Section  710.30  of  the  criminal procedure law, as separately
amended by chapters 8 and 194 of the laws of 1976, is amended to read as
follows:
S 710.30 Motion to suppress evidence; notice to defendant  of  intention
           to offer evidence.
  1.    Whenever the people intend to offer at a trial (a) evidence of a
statement made by a defendant to a public servant,  which  statement  if
involuntarily  made  would render the evidence thereof suppressible upon
motion pursuant to subdivision three of section 710.20, or (b) testimony
regarding an observation of the defendant either at the time or place of
the commission of the offense or upon some other  occasion  relevant  to
the  case, to be given by a witness who has previously identified him as

A. 6795                            16

such, OR (C) TANGIBLE OBJECTS OBTAINED FROM THE DEFENDANT OR A PLACE  OR
ENTITY  IN  WHICH A COURT MAY RULE THAT THE DEFENDANT HAD STANDING, they
must serve upon the defendant a notice of such intention, specifying the
evidence intended to be offered. WHERE NOTICE IS GIVEN UNDER SUBDIVISION
TWO OF THIS SECTION, SUCH NOTICE SHALL SPECIFY ALL IDENTIFICATION PROCE-
DURES  IN  WHICH THE WITNESS PARTICIPATED, INCLUDING PHOTOGRAPHIC PROCE-
DURES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE PARTICULAR PROCEDURE WILL BE OFFERED AT
TRIAL.
  2.  Such notice must be served within fifteen days  after  arraignment
and  before  trial, and upon such service the defendant must be accorded
reasonable opportunity to move before trial, pursuant to subdivision one
of section 710.40, to suppress the specified evidence.  [For good  cause
shown,  however]  WHERE  THE  PEOPLE  ESTABLISH THAT THEY ACTED WITH DUE
DILIGENCE, the court may permit the people to serve such notice,  there-
after  and in such case it must accord the defendant reasonable opportu-
nity thereafter to make a suppression motion.
  3.  In the absence of service of notice upon a defendant as prescribed
in this section, no evidence of a kind specified in subdivision one  may
be  received  against  him upon trial unless he has, despite the lack of
such notice, moved to suppress such evidence and such  motion  has  been
denied  and  the  evidence  thereby rendered admissible as prescribed in
subdivision two of section 710.70.
  4. ON AN APPEAL FROM A JUDGMENT OF CONVICTION, A DEFENDANT  WHO  MOVED
TO  SUPPRESS  EVIDENCE  AFTER HAVING UNSUCCESSFULLY SOUGHT PRECLUSION OF
SUCH EVIDENCE UNDER THIS  SECTION  MAY  CHALLENGE  BOTH  THE  DENIAL  OF
PRECLUSION AND THE DENIAL OF SUPPRESSION.
  S  8.  Section 215.11 of the penal law, as added by chapter 664 of the
laws of 1982, is amended to read as follows:

laws of 1985, is amended to read as follows:
