Legal Question in Criminal Law in Colorado

Re: Record Sealing/Certificate of Good Conduct

Records can only be sealed if you were found not guilty at trial, the case was dismissed, the whole case was dismissed after a deferred judgment or if charges were never filed. Otherwise the case cannot be sealed.

Re: Record Sealing/Certificate of Good Conduct

How old were you when you pleaded guilty in Colorado? Juvenile offenders oftentimes will have their records sealed.

Re: Record Sealing/Certificate of Good Conduct

It sounds like you were convicted of a felony. Convictions cannot be sealed. The Army, in my experience, simply requires that you not be under any court supervision in order to enlist. This simply means that you cannot be on probation or parole when you enlist. good luck

Re: Record Sealing/Certificate of Good Conduct

First of all your question has to do with the law of the state in which you were convicted, not New York Law. Under New York law, if you were an adult when convicted the conviction cannot be sealed. You will always have a criminal record. Furthermore, under New York law, only when you are convicted of a misdemeanor can you apply for civil dispensation to restore some of your civil rights. To my knowledge this does not apply to felonies.
