§ 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.
