New York In the Matter of Operational Practices Regarding the Filing of Restitution Agreements in Pretrial Diversion Matters is a set of legal procedures that govern the filing of restitution agreements in pretrial diversion matters. The procedures include filing requirements, rules of evidence, and the appropriate filing format. The filing of restitution agreements in pretrial diversion matters is governed by three types of operational practices in New York: 1. Mandatory filing: This operates when a defendant agrees to a restitution agreement, filed by the prosecution, as part of a plea agreement or as part of a pretrial diversion program. 2. Permissive filing: This operates when the prosecution is not seeking restitution, but the defendant still wishes to file a restitution agreement. 3. Deemed filing: This operates when the defendant has been found guilty of a crime and is ordered to make restitution as part of the sentence. The defendant must file the restitution agreement within the time frame specified by the court. These operational practices are designed to ensure that restitution agreements are properly filed and that restitution is paid in a timely manner. They are also intended to ensure that the rights of the defendant are protected.
