1. A plea of guilty not embracing the entire indictment, entered
pursuant to the provisions of subdivision four or five of section
220.10, is a "plea of guilty to part of the indictment."

2. The entry and acceptance of a plea of guilty to part of the

dealing with juvenile offenders, a plea of guilty, whether to the entire
indictment or to part of the indictment, may, with both the permission
of the court and the consent of the people, be entered and accepted upon
the condition that it constitutes a complete disposition of one or more
other indictments against the defendant then pending.

(ii) If the other indictment or indictments are pending in a different
court or courts, they shall not be disposed of under this subdivision
unless the other courts and the appropriate prosecutors also transmit
