I entered into a Deferred Sentence or Stipulated Order of Continuance and now I received a notice for a Sentencing Hearing. I thought this was supposed to go away if I complied. What do I do?
To finalize the case a judge must enter a disposition. If you have complied with the payment of all financial obligations, attended any treatment or classes required, not received any other criminal charges, and completed any other sentencing requirements imposed, your case will likely be dismissed. You may file an Affidavit of Compliance with the Benton County District Court in lieu of appearing in court. The judge will dismiss the case without your presence. If you are not in compliance or have questions about whether you are in compliance, you need to attend your court hearing.
