Assault & Battery Assault charge

[Kylewbaysinger]

Jurisdiction

New Mexico

My question involves criminal law for the state of: New Mexico

On 11/20/2016 I was served at my home in Arizona for a simple assault charge out of the state of New Mexico from a few years prior. Upon attending a phone hearing and set a date for a non jury trial later in the year , the prosecutor filed a notice of dismissal (nolle prosequi). I've looked up the court records and it shows that dismissal on the same date . And then on the next line it shows motion for Continuance was filled the next day. This has now been over a year. Is it fully dismissed or are they planning to try it later. Just confused I guess . Thanks for answering

Since you've been in contact with the court why wouldn't you ask them?????

It's possible that the court ignored the motion because the case had already been dismissed and closed.

However, I agree that you should contact the court and make sure.

The online docket doesn't tell you everything.

It's really a "no brainer" man.Question,If the prosecutor filed motion for dismissal of the assault charge,and it's been over a year since,the case was dismissed,is the case closed,? the answer is,YES,now go in peace.
