N.Y. Criminal Procedure Law § 725.10: Removal of action

§ 725.10 Removal of action.

1. Unless the defendant is an adolescent offender who has been

directed to appear at the family court intake office of the county

department of probation for adjustment consideration in accordance with

subdivision seven of section 725.05 of this article, when an order of

removal is filed with the family court, a proceeding pursuant to article

three of the family court act must be originated. The family court

thereupon must assume jurisdiction and proceed to render such judgment

as the circumstances require, in the manner and to the extent provided

by law.

2. Upon the filing of an order of removal in a criminal court the

criminal action upon which the order is based shall be terminated, and

there shall be no further criminal proceedings in any criminal court as

defined in section 10.10 of this chapter with respect to the offense or

offenses charged in the accusatory instrument which was the subject of

removal. All further proceedings including motions and appeals shall be

in accordance with laws appertaining to the family court and for this

purpose all findings, determinations, verdicts and orders other than the

order of removal, shall be deemed to have been made by the family court.
