Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

Re: 440 Motion

A "440 Motion" is a motion to vacate judgment or set aside sentence. The above motions can be brief but fairly involved turning upon legal arguments. There is no one form to address the motions but rather it a motion drafted to achieve one of the two above stated purposes. I would suggest that you contact an attorney to address the motion issue promptly before the time to raise the motion runs out.

Please do not hesitate to ask additional questions if necessary.
