Re: no emp.due to denied motion to set aside poss.of marijuana in 97.

You have to wait 5 years before a court has authority to set aside a conviction. Since 5 years have past, I think that perhaps you had more than one conviction at the time. A court cannot do an expungment if you had more than one conviction. Just curious, how did you wind up with a conviction? Did you have any priors? Did you go in with a lawyer? What was the amount you were caught with? William S. Stern
