Upon  or  after  arraignment  in  a local criminal court upon a felony
  complaint, or upon or after arraignment in  a  superior  court  upon  an
  indictment  or  superior court information, and before final disposition
  thereof, the court, with the consent of the people and of the defendant,
  and with reasonable notice to the victim  and  an  opportunity  for  the
  victim  to  be  heard,  may  order  that  the  action  be  adjourned  in

  community dispute center established pursuant to article twenty-one-A of
  the judiciary law. Provided, however, that the court may not  order  any
  action  adjourned  in  contemplation  of  dismissal  if the defendant is
  charged therein with: (i) a class A felony, or  (ii)  a  violent  felony
  offense  as defined in section 70.02 of the penal law, or (iii) any drug
  offense as defined in article two hundred twenty of the  penal  law,  or

  as a second felony offender, a second  violent  felony  offender,  or  a
  persistent violent felony offender pursuant to sections 70.06, 70.04 and
  70.08  of  the  penal  law,  or  a  felony  upon the conviction of which
  defendant may be sentenced as a persistent felony offender  pursuant  to
  section 70.10 of such law.
