N.Y. New York City Criminal Court Act § 101-a: Pending actions and proceedings

§ 101-a. Pending actions and proceedings. No action or other

proceeding, relating to any complaint alleging a misdemeanor under the

multiple dwelling law which shall be pending before any three judge

panel of the criminal court on the effective date of this act, which

provides for trial solely before a single judge of the criminal court

shall abate or be otherwise affected by the passage of this act and all

such actions and proceedings so pending shall thereafter be continued

before any three judge panel of the criminal court. Any three judge

panel of the criminal court shall have the power to adjourn any action

or proceeding pending at or before the time this act takes effect to

some day thereafter when the same shall be continued before such panel

of the criminal court to which it was adjourned. In no event, however,

may such an action or proceeding be transferred from a single judge of

the criminal court to a three judge panel thereof after the effective

date of this act.
