COOCH, R.J.

This 5th day of November 2014, upon consideration of Defendant’s Request for Reconsideration of Petition for Expungement, it appears to the Court that:

1. Defendant was arrested in 1995 and convicted of two felonies which have since been pardoned by the Governor. 2. Pursuant to Delaware statute, this Court cannot grant the expungement of felony convictions, no matter whether the felony convictions were later pardoned by the Governor. 1

Therefore, Defendant’s Request for Reconsideration of Petition for Expungement is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
