Where the sentencing court has not fixed the place where the sentenced person is required to reside or has not fixed the periods during which the sentenced person may be absent from this place, these decisions shall be taken by the sentence enforcement judge, who shall rule within four months of the decision becoming enforceable, by order made in the manner provided for in the first paragraph of Article 712-8, after hearing the sentenced person assisted, where appropriate, by his lawyer.
In this case, the convicted person, who is present at the end of the hearing, is given a notice to appear before this magistrate within a period that may not exceed thirty days. If the convicted person is not present at the hearing, the summons is sent to him/her as soon as possible.
The summons to appear before the sentence enforcement judge specifies that, unless there is a legitimate reason or, in the absence of provisional enforcement, the convicted person exercises his right to appeal, if he does not appear before the judge, the latter may order that he be imprisoned for the duration of the sentence imposed.
The judge will then inform the person concerned that he or she may at any time request that a doctor check that the procedure described in article R. 57-11 is not harmful to his health.
The electronic monitoring device will be fitted within a maximum of five days of the sentence enforcement judge’s decision as provided for in the first paragraph.
