You are probably referring to a Withhold of Adjudication. It means that even if you plead or were found guilty in a trial - you weren't technically "convicted". This gives you certain privileges, such as the possibility of sealing your record. It may also allow you to say on job applications that you were not convicted of a crime.

You may want to contact an attorney to discuss your question more detail.
