Although it rarely occurs, a judge can refuse to dismiss charges at the prosecutor’s request. Typically, these requests for dismissal are granted. After a dismissal by nolle prosequi, a defendant may have to file a motion with the court seeking the destruction of their fingerprints and biometric data to clear their criminal history of the original allegation.
