In In re Expungement of the Involuntary Civil Commitment Record of M.D.V., the Appellate Division reviewed an order from the Superior Court-Law Division that denied the petitioner’s application to expunge his civil commitment records “with prejudice.” The Appellate Division credited the lower court’s thoughtful analysis of the two-pronged test enunciated in N.J.S.A. 30:4-80.9 but held that any denial of this kind of order should be without prejudice.
