will be DISMISSED
and the record of the proceedings shall remain non-public. Note:
MCL 333.7411, commonly referred to as "7411", is a deferment
statute designed to avoid a conviction on
one's public criminal record. A 7411 plea need not be disclosed to
potential employers and, assuming successful
completion of probationary terms, the record will be non-public with no
adjudication of guilt.
Additionally, a 7411 plea will not be reported to the Secretary of State
thereby avoiding a mandatory 6 month license suspension.
A 7411 plea is, however, considered a guilty plea in some instances,
including for police, military, immigration and other state functions,
and may be used against a defendant in unrelated and subsequent criminal
proceedings. ------------------------------------------------- December
