722-C - Services other than counsel.

  722-c.  Services  other than counsel. Upon a finding in an ex parte
  proceeding that investigative, expert or other  services  are  necessary
  and  that the defendant or other person described in section two hundred
  forty-nine or section two hundred sixty-two of  the  family  court  act,
  article six-C of the correction law or section four hundred seven of the
  surrogate's  court  procedure act, is financially unable to obtain them,
  the court shall authorize counsel, whether or not assigned in accordance
  with a plan, to obtain the services on behalf of the defendant  or  such
  other  person.  The  court  upon  a  finding  that timely procurement of
  necessary services could not await prior authorization may authorize the
  services  nunc  pro  tunc.  The   court   shall   determine   reasonable
  compensation  for  the  services  and  direct  payment to the person who
  rendered them or to  the  person  entitled  to  reimbursement.  Only  in
  extraordinary  circumstances  may  the court provide for compensation in
  excess of one  thousand  dollars  per  investigative,  expert  or  other
  service provider.
Each  claim  for  compensation shall be supported by a sworn statement
  specifying the time expended, services rendered, expenses  incurred  and
  reimbursement  or  compensation applied for or received in the same case
  from any other source.
