Quote:
To properly invoke this court's jurisdiction, this Court must find:
(1) the applicant received a final discharge on the conviction, which includes full payment of any restitution ordered;
(2) the application was filed after the statutory waiting period; (1 year for misdemeanors; 3 years for felony).
(3) there are no pending criminal proceedings against the applicant;
(4) the applicant qualifies as a first offender under R.C. 2953.31(A); and
(5) the conviction to be sealed does not fall within any category in R.C. 2953.36.
However, certain misdemeanor convictions, and any felony conviction, will not restore your firearm rights; expungement or not. Your best bet would be to consult an Ohio attorney who specializes in expungement law.
