Latest version.
  • Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of  article two hundred forty of the
      criminal procedure law, when forfeiture is sought  pursuant  to  section
      460.30  of  this  chapter, 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.
