If the case was in California, your conviction was expunged pursuant to
Penal Code Section 1203.4 or 1203.4a. The conviction remains on your record for many purposes, including consideration of applications for government licenses and permits.
The Los Angeles County Public Defender's
website has a good explanation of the effects of expungements.
