ONCE AN ALCOHOL AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE EVALUATION WAS ORDERED THE CASE SHOULD HAVE BEEN TRANSFERRED TO THE DRUG TREATMENT COURT FOR THE JUDICIAL DIVERSION HEARING, CONVICTION REVERSED (THIRD DEPT).

The Third Department, reversing defendant’s conviction, determined that the judicial diversion hearing should have been presided over by a judge in the Drug Treatment Court, not County Court:

… County Court was not designated by the Administrative Judge for the Third Judicial District to preside over the drug treatment court in Sullivan County. … Accordingly, while County Court had jurisdiction to hear the subject felony case … , once an alcohol and substance abuse evaluation was ordered for defendant … — for the express purpose of determining whether he was eligible for judicial diversion — the case should have been referred to the designated Superior Court for drug treatment pursuant to 22 NYCRR part 143. Accordingly, under the circumstances presented, we find that County Court was without authority to preside over defendant’s judicial diversion hearing … . People v Lee, 2018 NY Slip Op 01216, Third Dept 2-22-18
