A type of determination that is called a dismissal but does not terminate the proceedings is a dismissal with leave. It is authorized in narrow circumstances—that is, when a defendant fails to appear in court on criminal charges or the defendant has not yet completed a deferred prosecution.
When a conditional discharge is granted, the individual is placed on probation, and specific conditions must be met during the probationary time period. If they comply with all the terms, their case will be dismissed by the judge after their probation ends.
The program seeks to give certain individuals facing criminal charges a second chance to avoid a conviction and its consequences. The deferred prosecution program may be available to eligible individuals facing charges for certain non-violent criminal offenses. This opportunity is not granted automatically.
Conditional discharge is a type of sentencing that allows offenders to avoid prison time and criminal conviction. Still, it requires them to meet certain conditions, such as attending counseling sessions or drug rehabilitation, for a specified period of time.
Different convictions will have different levels of severity, and the same is true of discharges. If you have a conditional discharge for something relatively light such as trespassing or causing a disturbance, then the CBP considers this a non-excludable offence, and you would not be barred from entry.
Alternatively, for certain offenses, the state and defendant may enter into a “conditional discharge” agreement after a guilty plea or finding of guilt. If the defendant successfully completes the term of probation, the adjudication of guilt is withdrawn and the case is dismissed.

Conditional release into the community is predicated on individuals meeting specific conditions of the release agreement. If an individual violates the conditions of his or her release, the person is subject to revocation of release and return to incarceration or inpatient treatment.
