No. A conviction is when the defendant pleads guilty or nolo, or a jury finds him guilty.
Dismissed functions like a not guilty.

Are you considered convicted if your case is dismissed?
If you were arrested for a felony crime - and the charge was dismissed before ever reaching the trial stage - you are NOT considered to be a felon. And although your record may reflect an arrest for the offense, it will also show that the charge was dismissed.
You were charged with battery and the case was dismissed and now it is being reopened is that possible?
It depends on how it was dismissed Dismissed without predjudice means that the charges can be re-filed. Usually this is used when the Judge thinks there is lack of evidence for a conviction. If more evidence is found later, the charges can be re-filed. Dismissed with predjudice means that charges can not be refiled.

If a case with a guilty plea is reopened with a final judgment of not guilty case dismissed still a conviction?
Wait. If there is a plea of guilty, there can be no not guilty decision; in such cases, there is no trial, only sentencing. The only way it would be reopened is if the defendant rescinded his guilty plea and successfully appealed for a new trial, which then, in theory, could be dismissed. In the event of a dismissal, there is no conviction, unless of course the prosecutor successfully appeals and seeks a new trial, which in light of the original guilty plea, most prosecutors would.

I had a misdemeanor case in which I plead guilty reopened in Mich with both the convicting judge prosecuting attrny judge changed the judgment to not guilty case dismissed is this still a conviction?
No. Once it is overturned and dismissed, it ceases being a conviction. You might need to have some paperwork cleaned up to reflect that.When it is overturned and then dismissed it ceases being a conviction.If the case was dismissed with prejudice, it may not be over. If the case was dismissed without prejudice, you are a free person with that conviction.Point of advice, unless you are fully prepared to do the time and are happy with the potential sentence, never submit a guilty plea...no matter how guilty you are. By doing so, you are voluntarily giving up your civil rights, and you generally have little recourse.
