    Default Going to Court for Shoplifting in New York

    Hello everyone, just a quick question.


    I got a summons for court for petit larceny in the state of NY. Went to court on the assigned date, the court said that my paperwork was not filed yet and that they would possibly send me a new date in the mail. Aside the fact that it was frustrating to have to show up and do nothing, what do you think are the chances that they will actually send a new date?

    And how soon? The problem is I'm a full time student that has to return to school and coming back to court after the summer is over is an impossibility for me, so I was hoping to have this done with in 1 court date...but of course.

    So, do you think it will come and in what time frame? Thank you so much!

    They're not going to drop it over a minor paperwork issue. The best you can hope for is that they'll let you reschedule a court date or two so that you can better accommodate your school schedule if it really takes that long.

    Unless you plead guilty (not recommended!) or the summons is inherently false, there's no way this is going to be over in one (more) court date.
