550.10  Securing attendance of defendants; in general.
Depending  upon  the  status  of  a  criminal action pending against a
  defendant, the geographical location of the defendant at  the  time  and
  other  factors,  his  attendance  thereat for purposes of arraignment or
  prosecution may be secured by the following methods:
1.  If the defendant has never been arraigned in the action, and if he
  is at  liberty  within  the  state,  his  attendance  may,  under  given
  circumstances,  be  secured  by  a  warrant  of arrest, as prescribed in
  article one hundred twenty, a  superior  court  warrant  of  arrest,  as
  prescribed  in  subdivision  three  of  section 210.10, or a summons, as
  prescribed in article one hundred thirty.
2.  If the defendant has been arraigned in the action and,  by  virtue
  of  a  securing  order,  is  either  in the custody of the sheriff or at
  liberty within the state  on  his  own  recognizance  or  on  bail,  his
  attendance may be secured as follows:
(a)    If the defendant is confined in the custody of the sheriff, the
  court may direct the sheriff to produce him;
(b)  If the defendant is at liberty within the state as a result of an
  order releasing him on his own recognizance or on bail,  the  court  may
  secure  his  attendance  by  notification  or by the issuance of a bench
  warrant.
3.  If  the  defendant's  attendance  cannot  be  secured  by  methods
  described  in subdivisions one and two, either because he is outside the
  state or because he is confined in an institution within the state as  a
  result  of  an  order issued in some other action, proceeding or matter,
  his  attendance  may,  under  indicated  circumstances,  be  secured  by
  procedures prescribed in the ensuing articles of this title.
