Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

possession H & S 11357b

When you receive a notice from the court that if you pay the fine by a date and the citation is cleared does that mean it is over. My son just turned 18 and was caught with marijuanna which was less than 1 joint and says he needs to pay the fine by 5/7/2007 and it will be cleared. He is 18 and he wasn't driving and didn't have a drivers lic at the time. Now he does.
