Q: If I completed my sentence and was granted a conditional discharge for a 4th degree felony, is my case dismissed?
Conviction date was 06/2015. I was sentenced to 1 year probation. I successfully completed probation in 06/2016. Does my attorney need to file for dismissal or is it automatically dismissed after 4 years?
A:
There is usually an Order of Release on Conditional Discharge with is submitted by the probation officer and signed by the judge. That order closes the case and relieves the probation officer from continued supervision in the case. The record of adjudication will remain.
