No, you were never charged with anything, apparently, so there is no court disposition. That�s just a generic request in the USCIS list of documents you're supposed to bring to the interview. What you can do is to get a letter from the court that there is no case under your name in their records, and a letter from the police department that you were arrested but released on that date.

I would need more information regarding your particular case before I can comment on it properly.

However, I must point out the fact that it does not matter to the immigration service if you never saw a judge. The question would be �have you ever been arrested�?

You will have to inform immigration of your arrest, and explain the reasons why you were arrested.

Please note that you will still need the disposition letter.
