State v. S.A.M.
Annotate this CaseIn 2005, Appellant pleaded guilty to second-degree burglary, a felony. When Appellant was released from probation the conviction was deemed a misdemeanor. In 2015, Appellant filed a petition for expungement. The district court denied the petition, concluding that Appellant was not “convicted of” a misdemeanor and therefore could not petition for expungement under Minn. Stat. 609A.02, subd. 3(a)(3). The court of appeals affirmed. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that felony convictions later deemed misdemeanors by operation of law under Minn. Stat. 609.13, subd. 1(2) are not eligible for expungement under Minn. Stat. 609A.02, subd. 3(a)(3).
