Hi,

In general, while you can always ask, it's something that won't work unless certain conditions are met, the more the better. You would need to have completed all of the special conditions of your probation and owe no outstanding fees or any kind of restitution. From there, courts don't usually seriously entertain such a motion unless a probationer has served more than half of his sentence and his PO is recommending the release.

So if he/you has the conditions complete, he should speak to his PO first. If his PO says, "No Way, " he could have his lawyer bring the motion, but it's likely going to fail. If his PO says, "Wait a bit longer and I'll recommend it," he should wait for the recommendation unless there's some special reason he needs this to end earlier. (A job out of the country, eg)

Hi,

Nope. All of this sounds very good to me. He should do this through his lawyer if probation won't put it on the calendar for him. But as long as probation doesn't oppose it, he stands a good chance based on the information that you've provided me.

Good luck!

Hi,

Sorry for the delay. I really don't see anything else at this point. Looks like the bases are pretty much covered. But if anything else occurs to me, I'll post something.
