Re: Performance of a Minor (Expungement denial)

You can ask for a Pardon. There isn't much chance, I suspect, that you will get it. I do not believe that you can appeal from an expungement denial. Thedenial is within the discretion of the court. You should see a lawyer about redoing the expungement request. If you did it without a lawyer, that was probably not going to give you the best chance of success.
