Im on summary probation for extreme dui

I agree with Cary. However, I would add that between now and the hearing it might be a good idea to get yourself into some type of alcohol treatment and/or attend some AA meetings. The Judge will have the power to send you to jail so it is important to take some steps to encourage him/her not to. If you do attend some AA meetings make sure you bring a paper to have signed by someone at the meeting so you can show you went and how many meetings you went to. Give me a call if you have...

What exactly is a "non-witness hearing?"

I agree with Howard. A non-witness hearing means that no witnesses will be called to testify. Normally a defendant has the option of admitting a violation and proceeding to sentencing that day or another day. Or the defendant can choose to maintain his denial of the allegations and set he case for another non-witness hearing or ask for a witness hearing. If you have any further questions feel free to call.

State's Motion to Dismiss without prejudice

Generally speaking, to dismiss something without prejudice means that the state retains the legal right to refile the charges at a later time. However, just because the state retains the right to refile the charges it does not mean that they will. While it is interesting that the reason they gave is that there is no likelihood of conviction I don't think any lawyer can assess your chances of the case being refiled without more information.

Wanting to move to another state

This is up to the State you are moving to so it might be a good idea to post this in that section of avvo.com. However, generally speaking, the new State might not issue a new license if there are still issues left to be fixed on your Arizona license; if you are unsure about your Arizona status I would contact the MVD here. You can also call my office if you like. Best of luck!

I have DUI does that effect my citizenship.

Ordinarily these questions have fairly straight forward answers. However, without knowing more about your status, and the type of DUI, I don't think I can really give an answer. I recommend that you ask this in the immigration law section and/or contact an immigration lawyer. I do not practice immigration law but I would be happy to provide you with a referral if you call my office tomorrow. If you have a DUI case pending I would be happy to speak with you about it. Best of luck.

How long after a dui accident can you be charged with a dui?

If this is a misdemeanor case, the state has one year to charge someone. If the case is a felony the state has 7 years to charge the case. (To be a felony the driver must have a suspended license (there are several issues related to this), two prior DUI within 7 years, or a child in the car.) However, these limits are likely not important because of the MVD notice that was received. Since the notice has been sent, it means that the blood result came back above a .08. It is likely that a...
