If an emergency requires you to miss your upcoming court date, you may write a letter to the Judge explaining your situation (send a copy to the District Attorney's Office). If you do not appear, the judge may issue a warrant for your immediate arrest. Unless the Judge has excused your appearance, you are required to appear at each and every court date. Adjournment requests are not considered by phone, fax or e-mail. If you think the case is still open, and you cannot find the next date with WebCrims, you should call the court at 631 208-5775 to speak to court staff during normal business hours, or see below regarding vacating warrants. When searching by "calendar," choose "Criminal Court" for Court field, use the courtroom number for Court Part field (for example, D31 or D44), not the Judge Name. To search by name, you need to know at least the first three letters of the defendants last name and the first two letters of the defendants first name. This system does not show Bench or Arrest Warrants or finished cases. If you know the name of the defendant, or the docket number of the case, use WebCrims. Your next court date was written on a blue "Notice to Appear" form at your last court date. Violations of Town Ordinances or Town Codes are arraigned on certain days of the week in the outlying courthouses. Arraignments of defendants given Desk Appearance Tickets or Field Appearance Tickets are conducted regular court days in the scheduled "Street Arraignment" (SAP) courtrooms. All business must be commenced by 4:30 p.m.Īrraignments of defendants "in-custody" (arrested and held by the police) are conducted every day of the year in Courtroom D-11 at 9:30 AM.
