Deferred Disposition

 

What is Deferred Disposition?

If the defendant would like to keep a citation off their record, deferred disposition may be requested. Deferred Disposition is a probation period. If all probation terms are met within the probation period, the ticket can be dismissed. Requesting deferred disposition does not relieve you of paying the citation.

Requesting Deferred Disposition

Defendants can request deferred disposition by written request. In the request, please include the citation number, your current mailing address, and a current phone number. The request can be mailed or emailed.  

If the offense is a traffic offense classified as a moving violation and  the defendant is younger than 25 years of age, then the judge shall require as a condition of deferred disposition that the defendant complete a driver safety course.
