DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA v. DAVIS

No. 01-CT-1553.

811 A.2d 800 (2002)

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, Appellant, v. Whitney DAVIS, Appellee.

District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

Decided December 5, 2002.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Rosalyn Calbert Groce, Supervisory Corporation Counsel, with whom Robert R. Rigsby, Corporation Counsel at the time the brief was filed, and Charles L. Reischel, Deputy Corporation Counsel, were on the brief, for appellant.

Herbert N. Harmon, for appellee.

Before TERRY and STEADMAN, Associate Judges, and NEWMAN, Senior Judge.

NEWMAN, Senior Judge:

Whitney Davis sought to seal the record of her arrest for a minor infraction of the District's drinking statute. The District of Columbia now claims that the trial court abused its discretion in granting Davis' motion to seal her arrest record when she did not show, by clear and convincing evidence, that no crime was committed or that she did not commit the crime. We agree with the District; we reverse.
