    Default Sentence Not Served, But Docket Says Case Closed, Bench Warrant Purged

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: California

    Original case is now 4yrs old.

    Convicted of misdemeanor Driving while suspended for DUI (out of state license), sentenced to 15days + fines. Time was never served, fines not paid.
    Case Status:
    Closed
    (date omitted)
    SENT TO ACCESS
    (date omitted)
    PROB TERMIN UNSUCCES
    PROBATION TERMINATED UNSUCCESSFULLY PER JUDGE'S ORDER ON PURGED WARRANT ****/**
    (date omitted)
    REF TO COLLECTIONS
    REFERRED TO COLLECTIONS PER JUDGE'S ORDER ON PURGED WARRANT ****/**
    (date omitted)
    ARREST/BEN WAR RECD
    ARREST/BENCH WARRANT ORIGINAL RECEIVED FROM ****/**
    (date omitted)
    BENCH WARRANT PURGED
    BENCH WARRANT PURGED PER DOJ GUIDELINES BY ****/**

    Without a doubt, there is a (CA)DMV hold on the license.
    Traffic stops in other states (while driving) result in license coming back "clean" (and certainly not suspended)

    What about the sentence that was never served? With the case closed, and the BW purged, is there anything that needs to be done, other than pay the outstanding fines in full?

    I suspect the case is on the inactive docket. You can contact the court, if you want, to find out what would be involved in resolving the case, or you can hire a lawyer to do so.
