The declaration is your chance to present your statement and evidence to convince the judge that you deserve a dismissal.
Here are some ideas that you can include in your declaration:
1. Explain the basic information about your conviction and sentence. Tell the judge why your conviction meets the requirements for dismissal.
2. Explain why granting your dismissal would be “in the interests of justice”— meaning why you deserve to have your conviction dismissed, and how
the dismissal will help you succeed in the future.
a. Here are some examples of things you may want to talk about (but only if they are true for your situation):
i. If there were circumstances that made your life especially difficult at time of your conviction;
ii. How you are turning your life around;
iii. Your work and/or school history (including any vocational training, GED or other classes, and other programs you’ve participated
in);
iv. Current opportunities for work, school, and other activities to enrich your life, and how dismissal will help you take advantage of
these opportunities;
v. Your family situation and needs, and how a dismissal will help you reconnect with, support, or otherwise benefit your family; and
vi. Any problems you have had completing probation, and what you are doing to address those problems.
You should be specific and honest, and include as many details as possible to give the judge a clear picture of what happened. But you should
not include irrelevant or unnecessary information that might distract the judge.
You may also include letters of reference, certificates of completion or any other relevant documents.

FOR COURT USE ONLY
(JUDICIAL OFFICER)
If the order is granted under the provisions of Penal Code section 1203.4, 1203.4a, 1203.41, 1203.42, or 1203.49, the petitioner is
released from all penalties and disabilities resulting from the offense except as provided in Penal Code sections 29800 and 29900
(formerly sections 12021 and 12021.1) and Vehicle Code section 13555. In any subsequent prosecution of the petitioner for any
other offense, the prior conviction may be pleaded and proved and shall have the same effect as if probation had not been granted
or the accusation or information dismissed. The dismissal does not permit a person to own, possess, or have in his or her control a
firearm if prevented by Penal Code sections 29800 or 29900 (formerly sections 12021 and 12021.1). Dismissal of a conviction
does not permit a person prohibited from holding public office as a result of that conviction to hold public office.
9.
In addition, as required by Penal Code section 299(f), relief under Penal Code sections 17(b), 17(d)(2),
1203.4, 1203.4a, 1203.41, 1203.42, or 1203.49 does not release petitioner from the separate
administrative duty to provide specimens, samples, or print impressions under the DNA and Forensic
Identification Database and Data Bank Act (Pen. Code, § 295 et seq.) if petitioner was found guilty by
a trier of fact, not guilty by reason of insanity, or pled no contest to a qualifying offense as defined in
Penal Code section 296(a).
Date:
6.
8.
The basis for an order of dismissal granted under the provisions of Penal Code section 1203.43 is the
invalidity of defendant's prior plea due to misinformation in former Penal Code section 1000.4
regarding the actual consequences of making a plea and successful completion of a deferred entry of
judgment program.
10.
If this order is granted under the provisions of Penal Code section 1203.4, 1203.41, or 1203.42,
the petitioner is required to disclose the above conviction in response to any direct question contained in any questionnaire or
application for public office, or for licensure by any state or local agency, or for contracting with the California State Lottery
Commission; and
dismissal of the conviction does not automatically relieve petitioner from the requirement to register as a sex offender.

STEP 4: HAVE ANOTHER ADULT SERVE THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE
Make at least two copies of your completed CR-180 and attachments. One of those copies needs to be served
by a person over the age of 18, other than you, to the District Attorney’s office. The adult that served the
District Attorney’s office must complete a Proof of Service (form CR-106).
STEP 5: FILE YOUR DOCUMENTS
You should have an original and a copy of the completed CR-180 (with attachments) and CR-181. Make a copy
of the completed Proof of Service (form CR-106), which was signed by the person who served the copies to
the DA’s office, and gather all the forms to file with the court.
To file in person, go to Criminal Clerk’s office at the Justice Center where your case was filed. Present the
original and the copies. The clerk will stamp both sets of documents. The original will remain with the court and
a conformed copy will be returned to you for your own records.
Or, you could file by mail, by sending your documents to the court, addressing the envelope to the Justice
Center as the recipient. To ensure that the conformed copies will be returned to you, include a self-addressed
stamped envelope in your package, so that the clerk can send your copies after filing your original documents.
Finally, there is a fee related to this filing, up to $150.00. If you are unable to pay costs and fees related to this
filing, please complete form CR-105 in its entirety and file it along with this packet.
STEP 6: WAIT FOR A RULING OR FOR A HEARING DATE TO BE SET
Once you file your documents, a judge will review your request. Depending on the facts of your case, a judge
can approve or deny your request without a hearing. The judge also has the ability to set a hearing. If a
hearing is scheduled, it is crucial that you appear on the day of the hearing or the court will likely deny your
petition. If your petition is granted, you need to verify that you have paid any fees imposed by the court or you
will not receive your certificate.

(JUDICIAL OFFICER)
If the order is granted under the provisions of Penal Code section 1203.4, 1203.4a, 1203.41, 1203.42, or 1203.49, the petitioner is
released from all penalties and disabilities resulting from the offense except as provided in Penal Code sections 29800 and 29900
(formerly sections 12021 and 12021.1) and Vehicle Code section 13555. In any subsequent prosecution of the petitioner for any
other offense, the prior conviction may be pleaded and proved and shall have the same effect as if probation had not been granted
or the accusation or information dismissed. The dismissal does not permit a person to own, possess, or have in his or her control a
firearm if prevented by Penal Code sections 29800 or 29900 (formerly sections 12021 and 12021.1). Dismissal of a conviction
does not permit a person prohibited from holding public office as a result of that conviction to hold public office.
9.
In addition, as required by Penal Code section 299(f), relief under Penal Code sections 17(b), 17(d)(2),
1203.4, 1203.4a, 1203.41, 1203.42, or 1203.49 does not release petitioner from the separate
administrative duty to provide specimens, samples, or print impressions under the DNA and Forensic
Identification Database and Data Bank Act (Pen. Code, § 295 et seq.) if petitioner was found guilty by
a trier of fact, not guilty by reason of insanity, or pled no contest to a qualifying offense as defined in
Penal Code section 296(a).
Date:
6.
8.
The basis for an order of dismissal granted under the provisions of Penal Code section 1203.43 is the
invalidity of defendant's prior plea due to misinformation in former Penal Code section 1000.4
regarding the actual consequences of making a plea and successful completion of a deferred entry of
judgment program.
10.
If this order is granted under the provisions of Penal Code section 1203.4, 1203.41, or 1203.42,
the petitioner is required to disclose the above conviction in response to any direct question contained in any questionnaire or
application for public office, or for licensure by any state or local agency, or for contracting with the California State Lottery
Commission; and
dismissal of the conviction does not automatically relieve petitioner from the requirement to register as a sex offender.
