Legal Question in Criminal Law in Colorado

My Brother has a felony

My brother received a felony for assult. Can this be removed from his record? If so, how much time must there be between the conviction and when you can have it removed. This is keeping him from having meaningful employment. It happened in the state of Colorado, but he has moved to Utah and is trying to find work in utah.
