What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida (Broward County)
I have a 20+ year old arrest where I plead no contest to a second degree misdemeanor which is the lowest possible level of misdemeanor in Florida. The record was also sealed for over 10 years.
I received a Certificate of Eligibility from FDLE and the State Attorney's office has let the judge know that they do not object. The paperwork has been sitting with the judge for 5 months.
I called the Judge's assistant who mysteriously states that the Judge has it but signing the order is at his discretion. She also advised that she couldn't tell me any more before I could even ask her about it. She seemed very defensive.
Can the judge just sit on this ad infinitum?
Thanks.
