In the Matter of Alonzo M., Respondent v. New York City Department of Probation, Appellants

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order that the Department of Probation must redact references to sealed juvenile records from its Investigation and Report, holding that Family Court Act § 375.1 bars a public agency from disclosing information derived from sealed records regardless of the source. Chief Judge Wachtler dissented, arguing that the court should be able to consider its own sealed records when determining supervision.
