ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER OF THE CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE JUDGE OF THE COURTS

Pursuant to the authority vested in me, and upon consultation with and agreement of

the Administrative Board of the Courts, I hereby adopt, effective April 14, 2020, the

proposed plans for temporary centralized arraignments parts in the Fourth Judicial

District (Exhibit A) and establish off- hours arraignment parts as described therein.

Pursuant to Judiciary Law §212(l)(w), the off- hours arraignment parts shall be held

in such courts for the conduct of arraignments and other preliminary proceedings

incidental thereto, and for arrest warrant returns in criminal cases, where the use of

such parts will facilitate the availability of public defenders or assigned counsel for

defendants in need of legal representation at such proceedings. In response to the

COVID-19 health emergency, all appearances in the parts will be virtual-by means

of video conferencing as detailed in each plan. Judges and justices shall be

temporarily assigned to the court on a rotating basis in accordance with a schedule to

be published as soon as practicable. This order will remain in effect at least and until

the public health emergency necessitating it abates, whereupon this order will be

rescinded by a subsequent order.

Administrative Judge of the Courts

EXHIBIT A

FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT PLAN FOR CENTRALIZED VIRTUAL OFF-HOURS ARRAIGNMENT PARTS PURSUANT TO JUDICIARY LAW §212(1)(w)

April 9, 2020

I. BACKGROUND

The Fourth Judicial District is comprised of eleven counties, two of which (Warren and

Washington) are already operating Central Arraignment Parts (CAPs). Given the demographics

of the Town and Village Justices across the State, coupled with the extraordinary size of the

District (one hundred and seventy-eight separate Town and Village Courts) and the scope of the

current pandemic, the remaining nine counties (Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Fulton, Hamilton,

Montgomery, Saratoga, Schenectady and St Lawrence) need the flexibility and subsequent

county-wide jurisdiction a CAP would provide. In order for the District to guarantee the mission of

keeping the court room doors open while we lose judges to quarantine, illness or a reasonable

reluctance to expose themselves, the most efficient and effective way to ensure all essential

immediate arraignments are covered by judges and defense counsel is the issuance of a Chief

Administrative Judge Order pursuant to Judiciary Law §212(1)(w) creating a Centralized Virtual

Arraignment Part. It is respectfully requested that such an Order be promulgated with the

understanding it will expire when normal court operations resume at the conclusion of this

emergency.

II. CENTRALIZED VIRTUAL OFF-HOURS ARRAIGNMENT PART PLAN

1. HOURS OF ARRAIGNMENT AND PLAN OF COVERAGE

The Fourth Judicial District Centralized Virtual Arraignment Part (hereinafter "VAP") will

operate between the hours of 4:00 or 5:00 PM and 8:00 or 9:00 AM 1 during the week, and at all

1 In counties that have City Courts, the V AP will operate from 4:00 PM to 8:00 AM. Those counties that do not have

1

hours on weekends and court holidays, on an "on-call" and "as-needed" basis. Judges will be

assigned by the District Administrative Judge such that there will be a Duty Judge with a Primary

and Secondary Backup each week. The VAP will be staffed by volunteer judges of each county

(a "coalition of the willing") who possess the necessary equipment, training and aptitude to

conduct remote arraignments sitting as a part of the court of geographic jurisdiction, in a rotating

fashion as described in this plan. The Public Defender of each county and/or assigned counsel

plan attorneys shall provide remote legal services for all persons arraigned utilizing the VAP, as

described below.

2. JUDICIAL STAFFING OF THE VAP

Judges will serve on a rotating schedule. They will be comprised of City, Town and

Village Judges who possess the necessary equipment and technical proficiency to conduct

remote arraignments. The District shall create a judicial schedule for each county. These

schedules will be created in consultation with the Magistrates Association. A copy of the Week 1

Schedule is attached as "Exhibit A."

The schedules, along with the phone numbers of the various justices will be transmitted

to all local law enforcement agencies, the Office of the Public Defender and/or Assigned Counsel

Plan Coordinator, and the District Attorney. Each assigned justice will also have a designated

backup and secondary backup justice in the event of unavailability.

City Courts (Essex, Franklin Hamilton & Washington) will operate their VAPs between 5:00 PM and 9:00AM. This is necessary due to the different hours of operation between our City and County Courts.

2

3. JUDICIAL COMPENSATION

Town and Village Justices and part-time City Court Judges sitting in the VAP shall be

reimbursed by the Office of Court Administration pursuant to Part 126.3 of the Rules of the Chief

Administrator. Full-time state-paid judges shall not be reimbursed beyond their normal salary.

4. VIRTUAL ARRAIGNMENT PART FACILITY AND DESCRIPTION

At the outset of the VAP plan, the assigned judges will conduct arraignments in their own

home court (or in Warren County from the already existing standalone CAP facility), alone and

separate from any of the other parties. While assigned, they will be sitting as a part of the court

of geographic jurisdiction. The method of initiating the Skype Call will vary depending on the

arresting agency as more fully set forth in the "Arresting Agency and Transmission of Papers"

Section 7 below. Judges will be given the opportunity to conduct arraignments from other

locations (e.g. home or office) after the plan has been operating and upon consultation with the

District Technology Staff and a determination the judge possesses adequate equipment and

security measures. The arresting police agency will join the VAP Skype meeting from their

station or barracks, and defense attorneys and prosecutors may join the VAP Skype meeting

from their home, office or place of their choosing. Defense attorneys who prefer to be physically

present with their clients shall not be prohibited from doing so.

Each of the eleven County Sheriffs in the District have fully operational Skype facilities

that have been thoroughly tested with their respective Chief Clerks. Every New York State

Police station in the District has been fully equipped with the required Skype infrastructure as of

the Week of April 6th. Furthermore, the District has worked extensively with local law

enforcement agencies either via the Chief Clerks, the Supervising Judges, the Local Court

3

Judges, the District Attorneys or Special Counsel to get the majority of the local law enforcement

agencies the necessary equipment to conduct Skype arraignments. The few remaining agencies

that do not possess the required equipment will utilize the local Sheriff's or NYSP facilities.

5. PLAN FOR REPRESENTATION

Representation in each county utilizing a VAP will be provided pursuant to the Assigned

Counsel Plan of that county utilizing the Public Defender's office and/or assigned counsel. All

principals arraigned in the VAP will be presumed indigent for purposes of arraignment. The

County Public Defender and/or administrator of the County Assigned Counsel Plan will develop a

schedule of assignments for attorneys to cover the VAP and circulate it to all law enforcement

agencies in the county.

6. INTERPRETING SERVICES

When necessary, judges will endeavor to have court-certified interpreters present via

remote appearance for arraignments of persons who do not speak English. In the event an

interpreter cannot be immediately obtained, remote interpreting services via "Languageline

Solutions" shall be utilized. This service is already in place in the two existing CAPs and is

widely utilized by the local courts throughout the District.

7. ARRESTING AGENCIES AND TRANSMISSION OF PAPERS

Following an arrest, the arresting agency will enter fingerprint information using the ORI

number of the court of geographic jurisdiction. The Duty Judge will be sitting virtually in a part of

the court of geographic jurisdiction. Fingerprint based rap sheets should be provided to the

judge which will then be shared with the attorneys via encrypted email as more fully set forth in

Section 8 "Judicial Training" below. In the event law enforcement does not obtain a fingerprint-

4

based rap sheet and elects to only perform a repository or name-based search, a copy of that

information cannot be distributed to the attorneys. In those instances, the judge will allow the

defense counsel to review the material via the screen sharing function on Skype.

In addition to the rap sheet, the arresting agency shall include all necessary papers such

as accusatory instruments, supporting depositions, CPL 710.30 notices, Reports of Refusal, etc.

in the initial email or fax and then contact the on-call VAP Judge to notify him/her of the

arraignment. It will remain the judge's responsibility to contact counsel and ensure they are

present on the Skype Call. The arresting agency will email a copy of the accusatory instruments

to the judge for distribution to the parties. In addition, the arresting agency will provide defense

counsel the ability to conduct a private phone conversation with the arrested person, should the

attorney not be physically present.

The initiation and flow of the Skype Call will differ slightly based on the arresting agency

involved. Given the mobile nature of the New York State Police throughout the large District,

they understandably requested a uniform platform in each station. Given that, District

Technology Staff created a "perpetual Skype call" that is up and running twenty-four hours a day.

This will allow the NYSP Trooper to log on from any of the stations they operate out of. The VAP

Judge will thereafter send Skype invitations to the designated attorneys.

In the eleven Sheriff's Departments, the practice to date has been the Chief Clerk

initiates the Skype invitation to the arresting agency and relevant parties. A similar method will

be utilized with the local law enforcement agencies, understanding that methods may vary

depending on the individuals involved.

5

8. JUDICIAL TRAINING

Training in the administration of the VAP shall be provided by the Supervising Judges,

District IT Staff, Chief Clerks and the Special Counsel in conjunction with the Office of Justice

Court Support. The attached "Exhibit B" document called "Remote Arraignments Using Skype"

will serve as the basis of this judicial training, together with "Exhibit C" called "Sending

Encrypted Email." Training on these items has already commenced and will be ongoing

throughout the duration of this endeavor.

9. TRANSFER OF CASES, DATA ENTRY, AND DISPOSITION REPORTING

Case files shall be transmitted from the VAP Judge to the court with trial jurisdiction who

will assume jurisdiction of the matter thereafter. Should counsel seek further redress from the

court of geographic jurisdiction in advance of the resumption of regular court operations, request

can be made to that court if it is available or to the Duty Judge of the Consolidated Supreme

Court to determine if it is an "essential" matter. Should any defendant plead guilty in the VAP,

that case will be adjourned for sentencing and transferred back to the court of geographic

jurisdiction.

Orders of protection for any Town & Village matter will be entered into WebDVS. Orders

of Protection for City Court cases shall be entered into UCMS by the Chief Clerk of the City

Court upon receipt of the case from the VAP Judge. All arraignment paperwork will be scanned

and shared either via SharePoint or email to the court the case is to be transferred to. Data

entry and CDR uploads concerning the arraignment shall be completed by the court receiving

the case when the current health crisis has ended, and normal judicial operations have resumed

unless the court is unable to enter the information remotely in advance of that time.

The District shall also require the Chief Clerks to review the list of prisoners incarcerated

6

in the County Jail on a weekly basis as a check to ensure remanded defendant's constitutional

rights are satisfied.

10. ARRAIGNMENT RECORDING PROCEDURES

All arraignments will be electronically recorded using Liberty Recording software

together with VoiceMeeter, a program recently purchased by the District that is being installed on

the laptop computers of every VAP Judge. VoiceMeeter has been tested extensively by the

District Technology staff. It has been determined it best captures the audio from the Skype

microphone and diminishes disruptive feedback.

11. COLLECTION OF BAIL AT ARRAIGNMENT

In the event the on-call judge sets cash bail , the County Sheriff will collect the bail and

transfer the bail to the court of original jurisdiction. The on-call judge shall provide the arresting

agency with the required securing order, electronically via email. A sample of an E-Securing

Order that will be utilized and is attached as "Exhibit D."

12. PAYMENT OF FINES AND SURCHARGES

No fines or surcharges will be set by VAP Judges. In the unlikely event of a guilty plea,

the case shall be adjourned for sentencing and returned to the court of geographic jurisdiction.

13. RELEASE ON OWN RECOGNIZANCE

Defendants released on their own recognizance will be given a Notice of Adjournment

with his/her next appearance date in the court of original geographical jurisdiction.

14. ORDERS OF PROTECTION

If the on-call judge issues an order of protection, he or she shall enter it into WebDVS

immediately but no later than twenty-four hours. The duration of the Orders of Protection

7

remains in the discretion of the arraigning judge, but it will be recommended that they be set out

six months to lend flexibility during this period of national emergency.

Ill. CONSULTATION

The plan for a centralized virtual arraignment part has been created after consultation

with various stakeholders throughout the District and has benefited from their input. The

Honorable Felix J. Catena, Administrative Judge of the Fourth Judicial District, through the

Fourth District Supervising Judges and Special Counsel have advised the leadership of

necessary stakeholders consisting of police agencies, Sheriffs, District Attorneys, local

Magistrates, Assigned Counsel Programs and Public Defenders offices. Due to the nature of the

overwhelming health crisis, no objections have been received. It is anticipated that the VAP will

be ready for commencement of operations within forty-eight hours of approval to allow for

promulgation of the appropriate schedules to law enforcement.

Exhibit C

SENDING ENCRYPTED EMAIL

Revised : 4/5/2020

There are a few things you need to understand before you begin applying encryption to email

and file attachments.

First and foremost, there is a difference between encrypting email, encrypting attachments,

limiting what the receiver can do with an attachment once received and encrypting the

connection between the sender and receiver.

The easiest to discuss is the connection between the sender and receiver. Email

communication is always encrypted when sending internally in the Court System. The same

holds true when sending email outside our organization to "trusted" email services such as

Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft. For unknown email services, Microsoft always attempts to

negotiate a secure connection prior to sending an email, however if a secure connection cannot

be negotiated between the two services the email will be sent unencrypted.

Because the communication cannot be guaranteed to be secure it's important to encrypt email

that includes sensitive information in the body, subject, or when adding attachments.

Encrypting an email within Outlook is an easy process and can be done within a couple of clicks.

It's important to understand that not all attachments support encryption. Files such as PDFs,

Word, Excel, and PowerPoint all support encryption natively within Outlook. WordPerfect files

are not natively supported.

Attachments such as rap sheets need an additional layer of protection known as "IRM"

Information Rights Management. IRM allows the sender to restrict what can be done with a file

attachment after the receiver receives it. This allows the sender to restrict certain features

such as printing or forwarding attachments. IRM also restricts who can access the attachment

by requiring authorization prior to opening. Microsoft however only supports IRM policies on

Word, Excel, PowerPoint, lnfoPath, and XPS documents. It does not support IRM on PDFs or

WordPerfect files.

Note: Rap sheets normally come to us in a PDF format and will need to be converted to Word.
