Expungement or Certificate of Good Conduct

[MeChyle]

My question involves criminal records for the state of: New York If someone has two felonies 1 a F Felony Robbery N Assult and the 2nd D Felony Attempt sale of a controll substant Can they be expunged or get a Cert. of Good Conduct. And Do They have to pay? How many years do they have to wait before they try either

[Mr. Knowitall]

Your state doesn't provide for expungements. Read this.

In contrast to the Certificate of Relief, you are eligible for the Certificate of Good Conduct even if you have been convicted of more than one felony. You do not become eligible for a Certificate of Good Conduct, however, until a minimum period of time has elapsed from the date of your unrevoked release from custody by parole or from the date your sentence ended.

In cases in which the most serious conviction is a misdemeanor, there must be at least one year of satisfactory community adjustment before a Certificate of Good Conduct can be considered. In cases in which the most serious conviction is a C, D or E felony, you must wait at least three years. In cases in which the most serious conviction is an A or B felony, you must wait at least five years.
