Article 390 - Pre-Sentence Reports
390.10 - Requirement of Fingerprint Report.


In any case where the defendant is convicted of an offense specified
in subdivision one of section 160.10, the court may not pronounce
sentence until it has received a fingerprint report from the division of
criminal justice services or a police department report with respect to
the defendant's prior arrest record. For such purpose, the court may
use the original fingerprint report obtained after the arrest or
arraignment of the defendant, or it may direct that a new report be
prepared and transmitted to it.
