2021 New York Laws CPL - Criminal Procedure Part 2 - The Principal Proceedings Title H - Preliminary Proceedings in Local Criminal Court Article 170 - Proceedings Upon Information, Simplified Traffic Information, Prosecutor's Information and Misdemeanor Complaint From Arraignment to Plea 170.65 - Replacement of Misdemeanor Complaint by Information and Waiver Thereof.

§  170.65 Replacement of misdemeanor complaint by information and waiverthereof.1.  A defendant against whom a misdemeanor complaint is pending is not   required to enter a plea thereto.   For purposes  of  prosecution,  such   instrument must, except as provided in subdivision three, be replaced by   an  information,  and  the  defendant must be arraigned thereon.  If the   misdemeanor complaint is supplemented by  a  supporting  deposition  and   such  instruments  taken  together  satisfy the requirements for a valid   information, such misdemeanor complaint is deemed to have been converted   to and to constitute a replacing information.2.  An information which replaces a  misdemeanor  complaint  need  not   charge the same offense or offenses, but at least one count thereof must   charge  the commission by the defendant of an offense based upon conduct   which was the subject of the misdemeanor complaint.   In  addition,  the   information  may,  subject  to  the  rules  of joinder, charge any other   offense which the factual  allegations  thereof  or  of  any  supporting   depositions  accompanying  it  are  legally  sufficient to support, even   though such offense is not based upon conduct which was the  subject  of   the misdemeanor complaint.3.    A  defendant who has been arraigned upon a misdemeanor complaint   may waive prosecution by information and consent to be  prosecuted  upon   the  misdemeanor  complaint.    In  such  case,  the  defendant  must be   required, either upon the date of the waiver or subsequent  thereto,  to   enter a plea to the misdemeanor complaint.

The defendant has waived prosecution by information and  consented   to be prosecuted upon the misdemeanor complaint, pursuant to subdivision   three of section 170.65; or2.   The court is satisfied that there is good cause why such order of   release should not be issued.   Such good cause  must  consist  of  some   compelling  fact  or  circumstance  which  precluded  replacement of the   misdemeanor complaint by an information or  a  prosecutor's  information   within the prescribed period.

The district attorney must conduct such hearing on behalf  of  the   people.2.  The defendant may as a matter of right be present at such hearing.3.   The court must read to the defendant the felony complaint and any   supporting depositions unless the defendant waives such reading.4.  Each witness, whether called by the people or  by  the  defendant,   must, unless he would be authorized to give unsworn evidence at a trial,   testify under oath.  Each witness, including any defendant testifying in   his own behalf, may be cross-examined.5.    The people must call and examine witnesses and offer evidence in   support of the charge.6.   The defendant may, as a matter  of  right,  testify  in  his  own   behalf.7.    Upon  request  of  the  defendant, the court may, as a matter of   discretion, permit him to call and examine other witnesses or to produce   other evidence in his behalf.8.  Upon such a hearing, only non-hearsay evidence  is  admissible  to   demonstrate  reasonable  cause to believe that the defendant committed a   felony; except that reports of experts and technicians  in  professional   and  scientific  fields  and  sworn statements of the kinds specified in   subdivisions two and three of section 190.30 are admissible to the  same   extent  as in a grand jury proceeding, unless the court determines, upon   application of the defendant, that such hearsay evidence is,  under  the   particular  circumstances  of  the  case,  not sufficiently reliable, in   which case the court shall require that the witness  testify  in  person   and be subject to cross-examination.9.    The  court  may,  upon application of the defendant, exclude the   public from the hearing and direct that no disclosure  be  made  of  the   proceedings.10.  Such hearing should be completed at one session.  In the interest   of  justice,  however,  it  may  be  adjourned  by the court but, in the   absence of a showing of good cause therefor, no such adjournment may  be   for more than one day.

Until such papers are   received by the superior court, the action is deemed to be still pending   in the local criminal court.2.  If there is not reasonable cause to  believe  that  the  defendant   committed  a  felony  but  there  is reasonable cause to believe that he   committed an offense other than a felony, the court  may,  by  means  of   procedures prescribed in subdivision three of section 180.50, reduce the   charge to one for such non-felony offense.3.    If  there  is  reasonable  cause  to  believe that the defendant   committed a felony in addition to a non-felony offense, the  court  may,   instead of ordering the defendant held for the action of a grand jury as   provided  in  subdivision  one,  reduce  the  charge  to  one  for  such   non-felony offense  as  provided  in  subdivision  two,  if  (a)  it  is   satisfied that such reduction is in the interest of justice, and (b) the   district  attorney  consents  thereto; provided, however, that the court   may not order such reduction where there is reasonable cause to  believe   the  defendant  committed  a class A felony, other than those defined in   article two hundred twenty of the penal law,  or  any  armed  felony  as   defined in subdivision forty-one of section 1.20.4.    If  there  is not reasonable cause to believe that the defendant   committed any offense, the court must dismiss the felony  complaint  and   discharge  the  defendant from custody if he is in custody, or, if he is   at liberty on bail, it must exonerate the bail.
