Form CR-150 example filled out, example: a petitioner with a finding of factual innocence
Dana Sample asks the court to complete Form CR-150. A criminal complaint was filed under Dana's name and another person was arrested under Dana's identity, so the first two findings are marked. Dana Sample has no attorney, so STATE BAR NUMBER, FIRM NAME, FAX NO. and ATTORNEY FOR (name) stay empty. No warrant was issued, so nothing goes in Warrant No. because there is no warrant, and the third box of 2. The court finds that stays empty. No record of a criminal conviction was mistakenly associated with Dana's identity, so the fourth box stays empty. The print is a right thumbprint, so other print (specify) stays empty in Certification: print and clerk. Dana was born on 05/02/1988, so Age is 37 on 03/14/2026. The picture shows page 1, and every value in it is made up.
