Your case is unique, but you are not alone.

About 41,000 new cases are filed in U.S. courts every weekday. Behind each one is a person trying to understand what happens next. Here’s what the public record can tell you about this matter — and about the people deciding it.

  • Know your judge

    Every judge has a pattern — what they grant, what they deny, how they handle the kinds of motions your case will see.

  • Know your attorney

    See an attorney’s actual track record — case types, courts, and how they’ve performed in front of this judge before.

  • Know your court

    Every courthouse has its own rhythm — filing-to-resolution times, common dispositions, how often cases like yours settle.

Is this judge more likely to rule for the plaintiff or the defendant in cases of this type?

How has your attorney actually performed in front of this judge?

AICasePredict surfaces patterns from public court records. We don’t predict outcomes and we don’t recommend changing your attorney — that’s a conversation for you and them. We just show you what the record already says.

  2. Dismiss by Ct w/o Prejudice COMES NOW, the Court, having heard arguments relating to the Petitioner?s Petition For Expungement of Marijuana Offense Pursuant to Missouri Constitution Article XIV, and hereby denies the same. The Court notes that this is a review of a denial of ?automatic? expungement by another reviewing judge. Petitioner?s argument that the reviewing judge was in error when he refused to grant the automatic expungement is not sound for a number of reasons that were set out in Respondent?s response. The Court agrees that the reviewing judge could have easily found that this conduct was ?inherently dangerous? and therefore, would not qualify for expungement under Article XIV. The reviewing judge found that ?the Petitioner was convicted of the SALE of a controlled substance and is therefore not entitled to expungement.? Revisiting this brief and concise statement by the reviewing judge and re-reading Article XIV, the reviewing judge makes a sound argument, in that, the sale of a controlled substance may not be a ?felony marijuana offense? but instead an offense of selling a controlled substance (which happed to be 9.5lbs of marijuana). There may be other reasons why the reviewing judge did not grant an expungement, nevertheless, this Court refuses to reverse the reviewing judge?s decision at this time. Petition denied. So ordered and adjudged. AGK/br Associated Entries: 06/18/2024 - Cause Taken Under Advisement
