Deferred Disposition

Deferred Disposition

Deferred disposition may be requested from the judge in open court to dismiss all types of violations.  A request for a court date must be done in person or in writing by your initial appearance date.  There are terms and conditions of deferred disposition which you must comply with during the deferral period.  The deferral period is typically three (3) months but can last up to six (6) months.  The conditions are dependent upon the violation.  The Court may require the defendant to pay a special expense fee at the end of the deferral period.  Commercial driver's license holders are not eligible for deferred dispositions on any moving violations.
