Section 750. Probation reports; probation investigation and diagnostic assessment

1. All reports or memoranda prepared  or  obtained  by  the
  probation  service shall be deemed confidential information furnished to
  the court and shall be subject to disclosure solely in  accordance  with
  this  section or as otherwise provided for by law. Except as provided in
  section seven hundred thirty-five  of  this  article,  such  reports  or
  memoranda shall not be furnished to the court prior to the completion of
  the fact-finding hearing and the making of the required findings.
    2.  After the completion of the fact-finding hearing and the making of
  the required findings  and  prior  to  the  dispositional  hearing,  the
  reports  or  memoranda prepared or obtained by the probation service and
  furnished to the  court  shall  be  made  available  by  the  court  for
  examination and copying by the child's law guardian or counsel or by the
  respondent  if he is not represented by a law guardian or other counsel.
  All diagnostic assessments and probation investigation reports shall  be
  submitted   to  the  court  at  least  five  court  days  prior  to  the
  commencement of the dispositional hearing. In its discretion  the  court
  may  except  from disclosure a part or parts of the reports or memoranda
  which  are  not  relevant  to  a  proper  disposition,  or  sources   of
  information which have been obtained on a promise of confidentiality, or
  any  other  portion  thereof,  disclosure  of  which would not be in the
  interest of justice. In all cases where a part or parts of  the  reports
  or  memoranda  are  not  disclosed, the court shall state for the record
  that a part or parts of the reports or memoranda have been excepted  and
  the   reasons  for  its  action.  The  action  of  the  court  excepting
  information from disclosure shall be subject to  review  on  any  appeal
  from  the  order  of  disposition. If such reports or memoranda are made
  available to respondent or his law guardian or counsel, they shall  also
  be  made  available  to  the counsel presenting the petition pursuant to
  section two hundred fifty-four and, in the court's  discretion,  to  any
  other attorney representing the petitioner.
