'File Status' on a CORI Check

[troubledman]

My question involves a background check in the State of: Massachusetts

I had an issue with an assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. I was put on probation and this A&B was put on a FILE status?

I Looked up the description of this "FILE" status : Case placed on file by court and disposes of case without the defendant having offered any admission to the criminal charges; although the case has not been dismissed, the case is placed on file which allows the prosecutor to move to reopen the case in the future.


My question is: does this count as a conviction? Will this be seen on a CORI check or a housing check? What can i do about this?

Thanks for the help!

Who can see my CORI, and how much do they get to see?
A: Many employers are allowed or required to do CORI checks on people who are applying for jobs. A CORI check means that the employer asks the Massachusetts Criminal History Systems Board for a copy of your criminal record. Most employers will get to see only convictions and cases that are still open. But some employers, like nursing homes, are also allowed to see charges you were not convicted of. Public housing authorities are also allowed to see CORI, but they can only see convictions and open cases.
