Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Case Dismissal?

My friend and I were arrested together and charged for being drunk in public. Our sentence was to take a YOP and the charges were to be reduced to an infraction. When attempting to sign up or the program, we were both denied b/c we have he same case number on our court documents. Also they spelt my last name wrong. Is this grounds for dismissal?

Of course not. You and your friend will need to get this cleared up, but there is no reason why a minor administrative error like this should defeat the charges against you -- especially after judgment has been entered.
