Upon order of an appropriate court or judge, made at its or his own
instance pursuant to rules established by the appellate division of the

at a term held in a particular county outside of New York City may,
prior to entry of a plea of guilty thereto or commencement of a trial
thereof, be removed to the county court of such county, and (b) an
indictment filed in a county court may similarly be removed to the
supreme court at a term held or to be held in the same county. Each of
the appellate divisions of the second, third and fourth departments may
