§ 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.
