What is the name of your state? California
In 2000 I was convicted of submiting a false document which is a felony according to Insurance Code. Anyhow, I have done my time and completed my probation with no other convictions. The judge told me that after I completed my formal probation that I could file for what he called a 17b and have my probation dropped to a misdemeanor. Is there a time limit to file the 17b motion? I finished my probation 2 years ago. Also is it possible to ask the courts to seal the record? I am trying to apply to become a county sheriff. As a felon I can't carry a gun so there for I can't apply is this correct. Can I pettition this law? Also I work at a bank and when they did my background check my felony didn't show up so does tht mean I'm not a felon?
