Re: Felony Conviction

This a question of Federal criminal law, not NC criminal law, since it appears that the crime you are describing is one resolved in a Federal criminal court not NC state court (even though the Federal court may have been located geographically within the state of NC).

Nevertheless, to the best of my knowledge, Federal law does not provide for expunction of felony convictions simply because it would make the convicted person's life easier in terms of finding a good job etc., or you did so to spare others from indictment etc.
