This will vary from city to city, however, IF you get the sticker updated within 10 days, then many towns will dismiss the ticket.

IF you have get the sticker updated before going to court, and demonstrate your inability to get it before the second one was issued, the prosecutor would probably cut you a deal on the first one, and dismiss the second one.
