§  100.55  Local  criminal  court accusatory instruments; in what courtsfiled.1. Any local criminal court accusatory instrument may be filed with  a   district  court  of  a particular county when an offense charged therein   was allegedly committed in such county or that part thereof  over  which   such court has jurisdiction.2.  Any  local  criminal court accusatory instrument may be filed with   the New York City criminal court when an  offense  charged  therein  was   allegedly committed in New York City.3.  Any local criminal court accusatory instrument may be filed with a   city court of a particular city when  an  offense  charged  therein  was   allegedly committed in such city.4.   An   information,   a   simplified  information,  a  prosecutor's   information or a misdemeanor complaint may be filed with a town court of   a  particular  town  when  an  offense  charged  therein  was  allegedly   committed anywhere in such town other than in a village thereof having a   village court.5.   An   information,   a   simplified  information,  a  prosecutor's   information or a misdemeanor complaint may be filed with a village court   of a particular village when an offense charged  therein  was  allegedly   committed in such village.6.  A  felony  complaint  may  be filed with any town court or village   court of a particular county when a felony charged therein was allegedly   committed in some town of such county. Such court need not  be  that  of   the town or village in which such felony was allegedly committed.7.  An  information, a simplified information, a misdemeanor complaint   or a felony complaint may be filed with a  judge  of  a  superior  court   sitting  as  a  local criminal court when an offense charged therein was   allegedly committed in a county in which such judge is then present  and   in which he either resides or is currently holding, or has been assigned   to hold, a term of a superior court.8.  Where  it is otherwise expressly provided by law that a particular   kind of accusatory instrument may under  given  circumstances  be  filed   with  a  local criminal court other than one authorized by this section,   nothing  contained  in  this  section  precludes  the  filing  of   such   accusatory instrument accordingly.9.  In  any  case  where  each of two or more local criminal courts is   authorized  as  a  proper  court  with  which  to  file  an   accusatory   instrument,  such  an  instrument  may,  in  the  absence  of an express   provision of law to the contrary, be filed with any one of  such  courts   but not with more than one.10.  For  purposes  of  this  section,  an offense is "committed in" a   particular county, city, town,  village  or  other  specified  political   subdivision  or  area, not only when it is in fact committed therein but   also when it is, for other  reasons  specified  in  sections  20.40  and   20.50,   prosecutable   in   the  criminal  courts  having  geographical   jurisdiction over such political subdivision or area.11. Notwithstanding any provision of law  to  the  contrary,  a  local   criminal  court accusatory instrument may be filed with a local criminal   court while it is operating an off-hours arraignment part designated  in   accordance  with paragraph (w) of subdivision one of section two hundred   twelve of the judiciary law provided that an offense charged therein was   allegedly committed in the county in which the local criminal  court  is   located.
