Discovery; when demand, refusal and compliance made

* § 240.80 Discovery; when demand, refusal and compliance made.

1. A demand to produce shall be made within thirty days after
arraignment and before the commencement of trial. If the defendant is
not represented by counsel, and has requested an adjournment to obtain
counsel or to have counsel assigned, the thirty-day period shall
commence, for purposes of a demand by the defendant, on the date counsel
initially appears on his behalf. However, the court may direct
compliance with a demand to produce that, for good cause shown, could
not have been made within the time specified.

2. A refusal to comply with a demand to produce shall be made within
fifteen days of the service of the demand to produce, but for good cause
may be made thereafter.

3. Absent a refusal to comply with a demand to produce, compliance
with such demand shall be made within fifteen days of the service of the
demand or as soon thereafter as practicable.
