    Default Is dismissal the same as expungement in California

    Hi i have recently petition for a dismissal of my case pursuant to penal code 1203.4. My violating crime was a 470(a) of the Penal Code which is forgery. There were two checks forged in total of $240. My sentence was 30 days work project, 1 year probation and restitution. I have completed all of the required in the sentencing. Also my petition was granted for the dismissal pursuant to Penal Code 1203.4. My question is this - is the dismissal the same as an expungement?Is there other steps to take for an expungement? And if it is the same how long does it take for your status to be updated by the Department of Justice. I am inquiring for employment reaons. I thank you for your time and response.

    Default California Dismissal versus Expungement

    The California Courts self-help website suggests that a reference to a section 1203.4 dismissal is synonymous with an expungement. Be sure to read that entire article, as it has a lot of helpful information.
