Court of Appeals of New York
In the Matter of Tyrone D. v. State of New York, 13
In this case, petitioner was adjudicated a dangerous sex offender in need of confinement to a secure treatment facility, and after commencing a proceeding to seek discharge from confinement, he moved to change venue for the annual review hearing from Oneida County to New York County, citing Mental Hygiene Law section 10.08(e) and CPLR 510. Order denying petitioner’s motion is affirmed, where: 1) Mental Hygiene Law article 10 does allow venue to be change in article 10 hearings upon an appropriate showing of good cause; but 2) the motion at issue failed to establish the requisite good cause.
