SATISFYING THE REQUIREMENTS

Pursuant to Penal Code Section 1203.4, the court grants individuals the right to petition to the court to have their prior misdemeanor or felony conviction dismissed from their personal criminal record.

General Information: After successful completion of probation, or if not placed on probation, any time after the lapse of one year from the date of the pronouncement of judgment, you may petition the court to dismiss the charges under Penal Code §1203.4. After successful completion of mandatory supervision, or if not placed on mandatory supervision, any time after the lapse of two years from the date of the pronouncement of judgment, you may petition the court to dismiss the charges under Penal Code §1203.41.
