If you abscond past your maximum discharge date on probation, you may not be able to discharge from probation as you have violated the terms of your probation by absconding. It is advisable to contact your probation officer or legal counsel to discuss your situation and options.
The order of discharge from probation typically involves completing all required probation terms, such as meeting with a probation officer, paying fines, completing community service, and staying out of legal trouble. Once all requirements are met, a judge will review the case and issue a formal discharge from probation.
The time it takes to receive probation discharge papers can vary, but it is usually within a few weeks to a few months after completing all probation requirements.
To obtain early discharge from probation, individuals must meet certain criteria set by the court, such as completing all required programs and maintaining good behavior. The process typically involves filing a motion with the court, attending a hearing, and providing evidence of compliance with probation terms. If the court approves the request, the individual may be granted early discharge from probation.
You are notified by the court, or your probation officer, that you have completed the term of your probation and (in my experience) given a 'certificate of discharge' from probation. Of course if your jurisdiction differs from this procedure, contact your PO and simply ask.
An order of conditional discharge may be made if the court does not think it expedient to impose a punishment and a probation order is inappropriate.
It is not uncommon for the probation department to review your case shortly before discharge, then recommend a violation based upon your non-compliance. The hearing on such an end-of-probation violation may well occur after what would otherwise have been the discharge date.
If you SUCCESSFULLY completed your probation sentence and were released from probation by the judge who sentenced you, you cannot now be charged with a VOP. HOWEVER, if you only THINK that your probation expired but you haven't gone to court to hear the judges discharge, you are NOT released just because the date came and went. The key words are "SUCCESSFULLY completed" and "were DISCHARGED" by the judge.
Discharge at lv 50
No. A judge has to order that a part of your sentence may be served by probation. A prosecutor can recommend probation on the facts of your case, but that is totally in his or her discretion. And even if probation is recommended by the prosecutor, the judge gets the final say. See a criminal law attorney in your area if you want to try to turn some of your sentence into probation.
Discharge Summary
It is the final report written by your PO just before your probation sentence expires. It is submitted to the judge summarizing your conduct and attitude while on probation and under his supervision. Consider it like a glorified report card.
