A: If your paperwork indicates "no disposition/no information" and no court information was found, it appears that the charge of battery of a police officer in March 2003 may not have been fully processed or adjudicated. This could mean that the case was not pursued by the prosecution, or that there was an administrative error.

In Nevada, it's essential to clarify the status of the charge, as unresolved legal issues can have lasting impacts. To resolve this, you should consider obtaining a comprehensive criminal history record from the Nevada Department of Public Safety. This record will provide detailed information about any charges and their outcomes.

If the record still shows no disposition, you may need to contact the court where the charge was supposed to be filed. They can provide information on whether the case is still open, was dismissed, or if there was an error in the record.

Given the potential complexities and the long time frame since 2003, seeking legal advice might be beneficial. A lawyer can help you navigate the legal system, obtain necessary records, and address any issues that arise from this charge.

A: Your paperwork for a battery of a police officer charge in March 2003 shows "no disposition/no inf," suggesting the case may have been dismissed or resolved without a formal court hearing or conviction. Possible explanations for the missing information include the case being dismissed due to insufficient evidence or other reasons, settlement through diversion programs or plea bargains, incomplete or lost records due to administrative errors, or inaccuracies in the paperwork. To investigate further, contact the court clerk's office for information on your case, including the case number and disposition.
