What happens if I am unable/fail to appear for my arraignment?

Back to Frequently Asked Questions

If you are unable to appear on the date and time of your scheduled arraignment, call Buffalo City Court (716-845-2600) as soon as you become aware of your inability to appear. If you fail to appear on the scheduled date and time and fail to give the court advanced notice, the judge may schedule your matter for the issuance of a bench warrant for your arrest for failure to appear in Court.
