proceeding so pending shall be continued in the court herein established
or in the appellate division of the supreme court, as the case may be,
as provided in this section and, for the purposes of the disposition of
such actions and proceedings only, the jurisdiction of the court herein
established shall be coextensive with the jurisdiction of the court of
special sessions of the city of New York and the jurisdiction of the
