Nebraska Order Setting Aside a Criminal Conviction is a legal process in Nebraska that may allow a person convicted of a felony or misdemeanor to have their conviction set aside. This may potentially relieve them of some consequences of their conviction, including the stigma associated with having a criminal record. There are two types of Nebraska Order Setting Aside a Criminal Conviction: (1) Expungement and (2) Sealing of Records. With an expungement, the criminal conviction is completely removed from the person’s record. With a sealing of records, the conviction remains on the person’s record, but is not accessible to the public. This process is governed by Neb. Rev. Stat. § 29-3520. To be eligible for an Order Setting Aside a Criminal Conviction, the petitioner must have completed all terms of their sentence and must not have been convicted of any other crimes. They must also meet certain criteria, such as the length of time that has passed since the conviction and the nature of the offense. The petitioner must submit an application to the court in which the conviction occurred, along with the necessary fees and supporting documentation. After reviewing the application, the court may grant the Order Setting Aside a Criminal Conviction.
