Dispositions?
How does the court change their disposition? How do I receive notice?

Best Answer - Chosen by Administrator

  •  

    Any change the court desires can be made within 90 days after disposition. The court has two options for submitting this request:

     

     

    A request in writing on official court letterhead. The letter should list the defendant’’s name, date of birth, driver’’s license number (if available), court case number, citation number (if available), the original charge(s), and the amended charge(s). Court forms or orders will not be accepted in lieu of the request on official court letterhead.DS-1195 Court Correction Form

     

     

    If the change is requested 180 days or later after the conviction date, the court is divest of jurisdiction pursuant to O.C.G.A. §40-13-33, and the record WILL NOT be changed. However, if the records of DDS do not reflect the correct judgment rendered at the time of the original disposition due to a clerical error, no time limits apply and any changes necessary to reflect the true and accurate judgment at the time of disposition can be made.

     

    Note: The DS-1195 Court Correction Form is not printed and mailed to the courts like the other forms that DDS provides. It can be sent to the courts electronically or by fax. Please contact any person listed in the back of this manual and they can provide you with a copy. Soft copies are also available, allowing the court to complete the form on the computer and print it out to sign, certify, and fax to DDS.
