ORDER TO EXPUNGE RECORDS

PURSUANT TO TITLE 22 O.S. SECTIONS 18 AND 19

NOW on this ___________ day of ________________________________,

20______, after consideration of the Petition to Expunge Records

Pursuant to Title 22 O.S. Sections 18 and 19, presented by

___________________________________, it is so ORDERED that:

[ ] The Petition is hereby GRANTED. The Petitioner qualifies

for an expungement of records pursuant to paragraph 15 of

subsection A of Section 18 of Title 22 of the Oklahoma

Statutes. The Court finds that the harm to the Petitioner's

privacy or danger of unwarranted adverse consequences

outweighs the public's interest in retaining said records.

The Court further finds that the law enforcement agencies

listed in the Petition to Expunge Records shall seal all of

the court, arrest and criminal history records of the

Petitioner pursuant to the provisions of Section 19 of Title

22 of the Oklahoma Statutes. Upon the entry of this order

to seal the records, or any part thereof, the subject

official actions shall be deemed never to have occurred, and

the person in interest and all criminal justice agencies may

properly reply, upon any inquiry in the matter, that no such

action ever occurred and that no such record exists with

respect to such person. Inspection of the records included

in the order may thereafter be permitted by the court only

upon petition by the person in interest who is the subject

of such records, the Attorney General, or by the district

attorney and only to those persons and for such purposes

named in such petition. Employers, educational

institutions, state and local government agencies,

officials, and employees shall not, in any application or

interview or otherwise, require an applicant to disclose any

information contained in sealed records. An applicant need

not, in answer to any question concerning arrest and

criminal records, provide information that has been sealed,

including any reference to or information concerning such

sealed information, and may state that no such action has

ever occurred. Such an application may not be denied solely

because of the applicant's refusal to disclose arrest and

criminal records information that has been sealed.

[ ] The Petition is hereby DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

JUDGE OF THE DISTRICT COURT
