What are the necessary actions needed in order for me to dismiss my misdemeanor? I committed petty theft on 11/13/2007in California and pledged guilty on 12/28/2009. As a result, I have been fined, served 3 day jail (work program substituted), and given 2 years informal court probation. Recently, two years have been passed and I have had no official documents mailed to me in order to notify that I have served my 2 years of informal court probation. I am planning on filling out a 1203.4 form in order to dismiss my case; but how will i fill this part out:

the defendant in the above-entitled criminal action was convicted of a violation
of section(s) (specify): of the (specify): Code

Also, what does CII stand for? Furthermore, who would I mail the form to and where would I fill their mailing address at. Lastly, is there anything I need to do?

Attached is the 1203.4 form if you need to refer to it.

Thanks
 
Run-Time Calculated Wrong!

What you are looking to do here is to "Expunge" your misdemeanor conviction and the process is pretty simple and straight forward. You start the action by filing a one-page from titled PETITION FOR RELIEF (PC1203.4 & 1203.4a) for which there is a $65 (or thereabouts) fee. If you cannot pay the fee, ask the clerk for a Fee Waiver application which you fill out there and then and file with your petition.

It used to be that upon filing, the petitioner was given a hearing date on the spot, but that is no longer the case; well, not for simple matters any ways. Simple petitions are now considered without appearance and a ruling is given within 5 to 8 weeks of filing via mail notification.

But going by the dates in your message, you have to wait a bit longer to start this action as you lack eligibility to even ask for such a relief at the present time, simply because the 2-year summary probation (informal) started running from the time you pled guilty to the charge of petty theft, not from the date that you committed the crime, and so it will not mature until 12-28-2011.
