6 Expungement and sealing laws restrict access to criminal records and sometimes even provide for their destruction. 7 Set-aside laws authorize a court to “vacate” a conviction in order to signal a person's rehabilitation, relief that may or may not be followed by sealing the record.
A Motion for Relief from Judgment: What You Need to Know If you have been convicted of a crime in Michigan and believe that you have grounds for relief from the judgment, you may file a motion for relief under MCR 6.500. This motion must be filed in the circuit court where the conviction occurred.
If you want to file a motion, the process is generally something like this: You write your motion. You file your motion with the court clerk. The court clerk inserts the date and time your motion will be heard by the judge. You “serve” (mail) your motion to the other side.
Clean Slate Setting aside a conviction is the process that clears a public criminal record. In Michigan, there is one process to set aside a conviction on an adult record and a different process to set aside a juvenile conviction, called an adjudication.
So, regardless of how many misdemeanor convictions you have on your record if you don't have any felonies, you will likely qualify for relief. Up to three felony convictions can be expunged. However, if you have more than three felonies on your record, you will not qualify.
How far an employment background check in Michigan can go depends on who is conducting the search, the type of checks being conducted, and the scope of the background screening. Although some states limit the lookback period for employment background checks to seven years, the state of Michigan does not.
That's because fingerprints are physical records, and expungements do not destroy them. At the state level, your fingerprints won't be connected to your expunged case, but they could still be used to identify you.
