§ 1610. Discipline, suspension and removal on charges. The appellate\ndivision may discipline by reprimand or censure, or may temporarily\nsuspend or permanently remove any marshal for cause, provided that\nwritten charges are first filed with said court, and that the marshal be\ngiven due notice thereof and be afforded an opportunity to be heard at a\nfull and complete hearing. The appellate division may, in its\ndiscretion, suspend a marshal from the performance of his or her\nofficial duties pending a hearing upon the charges. Upon charges being\npreferred against a marshal by a judge of the appellate division, such\ncourt shall forthwith cause notice of suspension of the marshal to be\nserved upon him or her, and the marshal shall thereupon remain suspended\nuntil the hearing and determination of the charges. Such hearing shall\nbe held within sixty days from the date of service of notice of\nsuspension upon a marshal, except that the period of time prescribed\nherein may be extended for good cause shown upon application. In lieu of\ndiscipline by temporary suspension or removal, the appellate division\nmay assess a fine, not to exceed five hundred dollars, against any\nmarshal who has been found, after a hearing, to be in violation of the\nprovisions of this article or of the rules and regulations promulgated\npursuant thereto.\n
