  3. Failure to Appear (FTA): Did not appear for a Court date. Often, a bench warrant may be issued.
  4. Guilty in Absentia: Appears trial was held and defendant ruled guilty while not present at the event.
  5. Appears to be part of a plea agreement based on verdict in the same Court on the same date.
  6. Deferred Entry of Judgment (DEJ): Under P.C. 1000, by pleading Guilty and completing a drug treatment/counseling program, the charges are dismissed and the records sealed.
  7. Dismissed with prejudice: the plaintiff cannot refile the same claim again in that court.
  8. Dismissed without prejudice: the plaintiff may refile the same claim at a later date.
