Whether or not he is eligible for nondisclosure dependson the offense for which he served deferred. And, the waiting period also depends on the offense. In general, if eligible, felonies must wait 5 years after the person is released from the probation. In general, if eligibile, misdemeanors can be done right away OR they must wait 2 years. (And, eligibility depends on what occurs during the waiting period, if any.)
