PRESIDING JUDGE ORDER NO. 26-007 
 
Case: D24PJO1 
 
ORDER FOR OREGON STATE POLICE TO 
RELEASE RECORDS SEALED UNDER            
ORS 137.225 
 
   
  
 The court hereby issues a Standing Order for the Oregon State Police to reopen and 
disclose to the Grant and Harney District Attorney’s Office any an all records sealed under 
ORS 137.225 for the limited purpose of assisting the investigations of a movant, for a specific 
petition, to set aside pursuant to ORS 137.225(7)(b) and ORS 1337.225(5)(a)(A)(ii). 
 Thereafter, the files and records shall be resealed by Oregon State Police and the District 
Attorney’s office shall destroy any records obtained once the petition at issue is resolved. 
 The Court finds good cause for Oregon State Police to release any and all records sealed 
under ORS 137.225 because consideration of previously set aside convictions is mandated 
by the statute. Under ORS 137.225(7)(b), “a conviction that has been set aside under this 
section shall be considered for the purpose of determining whether this paragraph is 
applicable” (emphasis added). Under ORS 137.225(5)(a)(A)(ii), “a conviction, arrest, citation 
or charge that has been set aside under this section shall be considered for the purpose of 
determining whether this subparagraph is applicable” (emphasis added). Given the 
mandatory language of the statute, good cause exists for each and every motion to set aside 
filed before this Court.
