22 NYCRR 110.7

(a) When a defendant is in the custody of the commissioner pursuant to a second retention order, or a previously issued subsequent retention order, the commissioner must, at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the period prescribed in the order, apply to the court that issued the order, or to a superior court in the county where the facility is located, for a subsequent retention order or a release order. Upon receipt of such application, the court may, on its own motion, conduct a hearing to determine whether the defendant has a dangerous mental disorder, and it must conduct such hearing if a demand therefor is made by one of the parties.
