Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

compleated yet reinstated

In 1999 said party was convicted of posission of glass pipe. Prop.36 was givin and 3 years probation. Class 1210 was compleated by said party. Nov. 13 2002 public defender was present in court and asked for dismissal of case. Dismissal was denied. No reason listed. In June 2003 said party was arrested for failure to appear on traffic warrent. While incarcerated; It was learned then of a warrent. It was for the same crime in 1999, same case #, prop 36 and probation were reinstated. Talking with court clerk and looking at the record we found no info of compleation of class certificate, it was never recorded or sent to the court. I'm wondering what form to file or what to do to show the court this has been compleated. So not to be punnished twice for the same crime.

Re: Completed, yet reinstated

Thank you for your inquiry.

It sounds as though you need to check with the school offering the Proposition 36 program and get a duplicate completion certificate filed with the court. Either the school thought you would file this, or otherwise dropped the ball, but this needs to be filed to show the court that you did this.

I hope this helps, but if you have other questions, want more information, or need legal representation, please feel free to email me directly at [email protected].

Re: compleated yet reinstated

It is more than a 'form'. You need an attorney to help you clear up the situation before you cause yourself more problems. Contact me if interested in discussing facts and fees.
