Government of the Virgin Islands v. Nugent

MEMORANDUM OPINION

(April 2, 2007)

THIS MATTER is before the Court on a Stipulated Petition to Expunge Record. The Petition requests that this Court expunge Defendant's arrest record. This Stipulated Petition by the parties is improperly filed under the underlying criminal matter. The above-captioned matter was dismissed in May of 2005, therefore, the Court no longer has jurisdiction and any subsequent filings under this matter are improperly before the Court. The proper procedure is to file a petition for the expungement of record as a civil matter, as we will discuss further below.
