Interim motion to expunge a felony arrest from criminal history in certain cases resulting in a misdemeanor conviction

D. An interim motion to expunge shall not be subject to the time limitations provided for in Articles 977(A)(2) or 978(A)(2) of this Code, and there shall be no restriction on the number of interim expungements which may be granted.
