A:
To begin the process of removing two enhancements or strikes from your non-violent offender case in Riverside, start by reviewing your current case documents carefully. It's important to understand the specific charges and the basis for each enhancement or strike. Since the Habeas Corpus was filed in June 2024 but sent to the wrong department, you should contact the court to ensure it is redirected to the appropriate division without further delay.
Next, consider filing a motion to expunge or have the enhancements removed. This typically involves presenting your case to the court, demonstrating why the strikes should be removed based on factors like rehabilitation, the nature of the offenses, and any errors in the initial proceedings. Gathering supporting evidence, such as character references and proof of rehabilitation efforts, can strengthen your request.
Finally, stay proactive in following up with the court and any legal representatives involved. Regular communication ensures that your case remains on track and that any additional requirements are promptly addressed. By taking these steps, you can work towards having the enhancements or strikes removed and improve your standing moving forward.
