Seal Records - Under 21 with Marijuana After October 31, 2013 and Before June 4, 2015
This information applies only to offenses written into Fruita Municipal Court. Some tickets in Fruita are written into Mesa County or District Court. To seal records of offenses written into Mesa County or District Court, follow the steps listed at http://www.courts.state.co.us/Self_Help/sealingrecords/.
My offense was being a person under age 21 with marijuana on or after October 31, 2013 and before June 4, 2015.
Do I meet the requirements to seal my records?
You can ask the Court to seal your records if:
- You file your paperwork at least one year after the date of the conviction, dismissal, completion of a deferred judgment, or conclusion of a deferred prosecution; AND
- You were not arrested for, charged with, or convicted of any felony, misdemeanor, petty offense, or municipal offense during the year after the date of the conviction, dismissal, completion of a deferred judgment, or conclusion of a deferred prosecution.
What information do I need before I ask the Court to seal my records?
Before you ask the Court to seal your records, you need to get a copy of your criminal history from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The criminal history records check must be conducted no more than 20 days before you file your paperwork with the Court asking to seal your records.
You can print out a copy of your criminal history by going to http://www.cbirecordscheck.com. You can also go to the CBI in person at 690 Kipling Street, Suite 3000, Lakewood, CO 80215. the CBI's phone number is (303) 239-4208.
There will be a fee for getting your criminal history report. Check with the CBI about the amount of the fee.
What paperwork do I need to file?
Download and complete a Petition to Seal Records Related to Illegal Possession or Use of Marijuana by an Underage Person, Pursuant to §9.08.050(H), Fruita Municipal Code, for Offenses on or after October 31, 2013 and before June 4, 2015.
Use the case number from the case you want to seal.
Sign the Petition in front of a Notary Public or court clerk. You can find a Notary Public by looking in the Yellow Pages, searching on the internet, or going to your local bank.
Give the Fruita Municipal Court Clerk your completed Petition and your criminal history report.
There is no filing fee.
After the Court makes a decision, it will mail you a signed copy of its Order Regarding the Sealing of Records. If the Court decides that your records can be sealed, you must mail or hand-deliver a copy of the Order to all of the agencies listed in the Order. If you do not do this, it may mean that your records do not get sealed.
