Court Disposition and Condition Codes

[Pages:24]Court Disposition and Condition Codes

The court reports the basic adjudication/disposition information for each count shown on the court disposition report as a Court Disposition code. The disposition code does not provide any information about the type, length, or conditions of the sentence imposed. The sentence length is shown in the pronounced sentence, conditional confinement, and/or probation. The type of sentence (Stay of Execution or Stay of Imposition) and other conditions of the sentence are recorded in the court condition codes, as dollar amounts in the appropriate fields, or are written out in the comments field. This is the list of codes, abbreviations, and definitions that are used on the Criminal History records. The list of definitions is included to help you interpret the entries on our Criminal History records.

Court Disposition Codes

Definitions Of Court Disposition Code 316 Probation Before Conviction - Used most often when the defendant is sentenced

under the guidelines of M.S. 152.18 for drug charges, however, an individual may get a 316 on any charge; the defendant is given probation by a judge without conviction. A disposition reporting a 316 should be followed at a later date by either a disposition of dismissal if the defendant meets the requirements of the probation sentence and is discharged from probation, or a conviction and sentence if the defendant fails to meet the requirements of the probation sentence. This code is different from the Arrest Disposition Code 214, in that the action took place in court.

317 Sentence Commuted - Defendant is given a new sentence or defendant's sentence is reduced. In conjunction with this code, Supervision Status Code 424 should be used if the defendant is, in fact, released from a custodial agency (prison).

318 Adjudication Withheld - The judge withholds or continues without adjudication for a specified period of time. Per TCIS directions to the courts there should not be an entry in the Stay of Imposition field or pronounced field. There should be time in the probation field or a specified length of stay.

320 Mistrial - A mistrial is declared when it is determined that the trial of action cannot stand in the law due to want of jurisdiction, a wrongful drawing of jurors, disregard of other fundamental requisites, or a hung jury.

321 Executive Clemency - An executive act of grace exempting an individual from punishment for a crime he has committed.

322 Found Insane - The defendant is declared to be insane. This code should only be used if there has not been an acquittal or dismissal.

323 Found Mentally Incompetent - The defendant is declared to be mentally incompetent, but there has not been an acquittal or dismissal.

324 No True Bill - A grand jury returns a verdict of no finding on an indictment.

325 Count(s)/Charge(s) Dropped - Used when no final adjudication is determined for a specific count(s)/charge(s), and the count(s)/charge(s) is dropped from further prosecution.

326 Failure To Appear-Bench Warrant Issued - Used when a defendant fails to appear in court, when lawfully directed, and a bench warrant has been issued.

327 Returned (Escapee) - Defendant is apprehended after escaping from confinement and returned with no additional sentence to the institution from which he/she escaped.

328 Returned For Violation Of Release - Defendant is returned to custody after violating the conditions of a conditional release, e.g., parole, work furlough. Do not use for probation violation because defendant can be convicted of a probation violation as well.

329 Adjudication Unknown - Used if the case went to court but the outcome is unknown.
