Wash. Admin. R. Cts. Ltd. Juris. 8
Reporting of Criminal Cases
(a) Report of Disposition. Within 5 court days after the disposition by a court of limited
jurisdiction of a felony or gross misdemeanor charge or misdemeanor charges which have been
reported to the Washington State Patrol Section on Identification, whether the disposition be a
plea of guilty or by deferral or suspension of imposition of sentence, or a finding of guilty, or not
guilty after trial, or by a dismissal of the charge, the court clerk shall report such disposition to
the Section on a disposition form approved by the Administrator for the Courts. When a
sentence has been deferred or suspended, the report to the Section shall indicate the length of
time over which such suspension or deferral is to be effective. At the conclusion of the time
period for deferral or suspension of sentence, the court clerk shall forward an amended
disposition form to the Section showing the actual disposition of the case.
(b) Report of Appeal. If an appeal is taken from the disposition made by a court of
limited jurisdiction, the court clerk shall, within 5 court days of the taking of the appeal, notify
the Section on an amended disposition form. In the event that the result of any proceeding
changes or otherwise makes inaccurate the information forwarded on the original disposition
report, the court clerk shall prepare and forward to the Section a supplemental disposition report
on a form approved by the Administrator for the Courts indicating thereon the information
necessary to correct the current status of the disposition of charges against the subject maintained
in the records of the Section.
