The New Jersey Order For Dismissal (FJORD) is a court order that is used to dismiss certain criminal and traffic offenses in New Jersey. There are three types of FJORD: Non-Conditional Dismissal, Deferred Dismissal, and Conditional Dismissal. A Non-Conditional Dismissal is the most common type of FJORD. This type of dismissal is made at the discretion of the prosecutor or judge and requires no action on the part of the defendant. The defendant simply has to wait until the court date and the charges will be dropped. A Deferred Dismissal is when the prosecutor or judge agrees to dismiss the charges if the defendant meets certain conditions. This type of FJORD usually requires the defendant to complete a period of probation or to pay a fine. A Conditional Dismissal is when the prosecutor or judge agrees to dismiss the charges if the defendant meets certain conditions and then successfully completes the conditions. This type of FJORD usually requires the defendant to complete community service, attend drug or alcohol counseling, or complete anger management classes. The FJORD is a valuable tool for defendants who want to avoid a conviction on their record. It can also be used to reduce the severity of a conviction if the defendant is found guilty.
