have a court date but already incarcerated

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? ca
my fiance pled guilty to grand theft auto and has been sntenced to 3 year in state prison. He says he only has to serve 50% of it and will be out in 18 months. He also said his parole violation will run concurrent. Do they do this? Also he has a tresspassing ticket he is supposed to appear on in Jan but obviously will not be able to attend. he has asked me to request it be dismissed in the interest of justice. I do not know how to do this. Can anyone tell me what I need to do?

What interest of justice will be served by dismissing a criminal prosecution because he is already in jail.

You most likely will not be able to act for him. That's what lawyers are for.
