Dangerous weapon battery charge

The DA picked up the case. On both court dates theere was no file on the charges. The case has not been touched and it is still open. He is now trying to find employment but the case shows open on his background. Is there a way around this, the fact the the DA has not done anything on the case

What state?
Why doesn't he contact the DA to ask? Alternatively (and, possibly, more wisely), he could retain a criminal defense attorney to help in this matter.

A case will remain "open" until it is concluded in one manner or another. It can generally be cleared by an arrest or by the submission of charges for prosecution. Or, it could be cleared by a finding of factual innocence. Factual innocence is highly unlikely as that requires something more definitive than is typical for criminal cases.

Your friend may be out of luck as he has no say on the categorization of police reports or the DA's filing policy.
