§ 725.20 Record of certain actions removed.
  1.  The  provisions  of  this section shall apply in any case where an
order of removal to the family court is entered pursuant to a  direction
authorized  by  article  722  of  this  title,  or subparagraph (iii) of
paragraph (g) of subdivision five of section 220.10 of this chapter,  or
section 330.25 of this chapter.
  2.  When such an action is removed the court that directed the removal
must cause the following additional records to be filed with  the  clerk
of  the  county  court  or in the city of New York with the clerk of the
supreme court of the county wherein the action was pending and with  the
division of criminal justice services:
  (a) A certified copy of the order of removal;
  (b)  Where  the  direction  is one authorized by subparagraph (iii) of
paragraph (g) of subdivision five of section 220.10 or section 330.25 of
this chapter, a copy of the minutes of the plea of guilty, including the
minutes of the memorandum submitted by the  district  attorney  and  the
court; and
  (c)  In  addition  to  the records specified in this subdivision, such
further statement or submission of additional information pertaining  to
the   proceeding   in   criminal  court  in  accordance  with  standards
established by the commissioner of  the  division  of  criminal  justice
services,  subject  to  the  provisions  of  subdivision  three  of this
section.
  3. It shall be the duty of said clerk to maintain a separate file  for
copies  of  orders  and  minutes  filed  pursuant  to this section. Upon
receipt of such orders and minutes the clerk must promptly  delete  such
portions   as   would  identify  the  defendant,  but  the  clerk  shall
nevertheless  maintain  a  separate  confidential   system   to   enable
correlation  of  the  documents  so  filed  with  identification  of the
defendant. After making such deletions the orders and minutes  shall  be
placed  within  the  file  and  must be available for public inspection.
Information permitting correlation of any such record with the  identity
of  any  defendant shall not be divulged to any person except upon order
of a justice of the supreme court based upon a finding that  the  public
interest  or the interests of justice warrant disclosure in a particular
cause for a particular case or for a particular purpose or use.
