You cannot have your case expunged under 15A-146 unless your case resulted in a dismissal by the prosecutor or a finding of not guilty by a judge or jury. A PJC occurs after a finding of guilty. You will likely need a Motion for Appropriate Relief in your case if you want it expunged under 15A-146.
