§ 460.80 Court ordered disclosure.
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.
