Re: filing a motion for dismissal

An arrest in 2000 has either not resulted in a case being filed, in which case there is nothing to dismisss. Or the case was filed and a warrant for failure to appear. He should immediately follow up on this matter. If there is a warrant for his arrest he needs to retain counsel to assist him in getting the case on calendar and the warrant recalled.
