department of probation for adjustment consideration in accordance with
subdivision seven of section 725.05 of this article, when an order of

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

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