If you plead guilty to a crime, I doubt it was sealed. When the courts finally re-open after this pandemic, go to the court clerks office and request a Certificate of Disposition. You can possibly have your matter sealed after 10 years after the conviction pursuant to CPL section 160.59

Do NOT speak with anyone from law enforcement anymore if you do not want to move forward. Do not sign anything if emailed or mailed to you. Your boyfriend should consult with and hire an experienced criminal defense attorney ASAP.

It depends on time left and jurisdiction. In the federal courts there is the first step and compassionate Release. In the state if it’s a misdemeanor many DA’s are not opposing release resentence motions. I think if an inmate has diabetes heart problems or asthma or other respiratory issues... View More

There are a few different ways. You could use the search resources of the New York Court system, PACER, or some of the educational legal search tools on the Internet.
