What this form asks for

The AI fills all of it, from your answers or your documents.

The MC 528a form is issued by a Michigan court to inform an individual that certain criminal convictions, previously cleared from their public record automatically, have been reinstated due to being ineligible for the set-aside. The form details the specific convictions and provides the legal basis for their reinstatement. It also serves as the official document for the defendant to object to the court's decision and request a hearing. Today, this form can be filled out quickly and accurately using AI-powered services like Instafill.ai, which can also convert non-fillable PDF versions into interactive fillable forms.

The AI checks your answers before you download

12 checks built for this form, so a wrong date or a missing answer is caught before anyone else sees it.

Ensures Case Number Consistency Across Pages

This check verifies that the 'Case No.' entered at the top of page 1 is identical to the 'Case No.' entered on page 2. Mismatched case numbers can lead to the document being filed incorrectly or associated with the wrong legal proceeding. If the numbers do not match, the submission should be flagged for manual review to ensure clerical accuracy before processing.

Validates Case Number Format

This validation ensures the 'Case No.' field adheres to the standard format used by Michigan courts (e.g., YY-######-XX). Proper formatting is crucial for automated docketing systems and for ensuring the case can be uniquely and correctly identified within the judicial system. A failure indicates a potential data entry error that could prevent the order from being processed.

Validates ORI Number Structure

This check confirms that the 'ORI' (Originating Agency Identifier) field follows the correct structure, which starts with 'MI-' followed by a specific alphanumeric code. The ORI is essential for routing information to the correct law enforcement or state agency. An invalid format could cause the updated conviction status to be rejected or misdirected by state record systems.

Requires At Least One Conviction for Reinstatement

This validation ensures that at least one of the three available conviction lines (containing Crime, Charge Code, and Date of Set Aside) is filled out. The entire purpose of this order is to reinstate one or more convictions. An order with no convictions listed is incomplete and serves no legal function, so it should be rejected.

Ensures Completeness of Each Conviction Line

This check verifies that if a 'CRIME' is entered on any given line (1, 2, or 3), then the corresponding 'CHARGE CODE' and 'DATE OF SET ASIDE' fields for that same line are also completed. All three pieces of information are required to uniquely identify the specific conviction being reinstated. Incomplete entries make the order ambiguous and legally insufficient.

Validates Date Field Formatting

This check ensures that all date fields, including 'DATE OF SET ASIDE', the judge's signature date, the defendant's objection date, and the clerk's mailing date, are entered in a valid date format (e.g., MM/DD/YYYY). Incorrectly formatted dates can cause errors in system processing and create ambiguity about when key events occurred. The validation prevents invalid data from entering the record.

Common Mistakes in Completing MC 528a

The ones the AI is built to catch.

Incorrect or Incomplete Case Information
Users often misenter the Case Number, Judicial District/Circuit, or Judge's Name, typically by copying from memory or an outdated document. This can cause the objection to be misfiled or delayed, potentially leading to a missed hearing deadline and the finalization of the conviction reinstatement. To avoid this, carefully copy all header information directly from the court's 'Order Reinstating Conviction(s)' that you received.
Omitting Specific Line Numbers in Objection
The form requires specifying which conviction is being challenged by referencing its line number (1, 2, or 3) from the order section. Defendants often forget this detail, writing a general objection instead. This ambiguity can lead the court to dismiss the objection as unclear or only apply it to the first conviction, forfeiting the right to challenge the others. Always fill in the specific line number(s) for the convictions you are objecting to.
Vague or Legally Insufficient Objection Reason
In the explanation section, defendants may provide emotional pleas or vague statements like 'this is unfair' instead of a factual or legal reason why the conviction was eligible for set aside. A weak or non-legal argument will likely result in the objection being denied, as the court needs a valid basis to reconsider the reinstatement. Clearly state why the conviction was eligible for automatic set aside under the law (MCL 780.621 et seq.).
Missing Signature or Date
Forgetting to sign or date the objection section is a simple but critical error that invalidates the entire filing. An unsigned form will be rejected by the court clerk, which can cause you to miss the strict filing deadline and lose your right to a hearing. Always perform a final check to ensure you have signed and dated the form before submitting it.
Using Outdated Contact Information
Defendants sometimes provide an old address or phone number, especially if they have moved recently. This is a major mistake, as the court uses this information to mail crucial notices, such as the hearing date. If you don't receive the notice, you will miss your hearing, and the objection will likely be dismissed. Always ensure your name, address, and telephone number are current.
Incorrect CTN/TCN or SID Numbers
The CTN/TCN (Complaint Tracking Number/Tracking Control Number) and SID (State Identification Number) are unique identifiers that must be accurate. Transcribing these numbers incorrectly or leaving them blank can cause significant administrative delays while court staff search for the correct record. To prevent this, carefully copy these numbers directly from the original order sent by the court. AI-powered form fillers like Instafill.ai can help validate such formats.
Failing to Keep a Copy for Records
The form explicitly advises keeping a copy, but many people forget this step and file their only original. Without a personal copy, you have no proof of what you filed or when, and you lack a document to reference when preparing for your hearing. Always make a photocopy or take a clear digital photo of the completed and signed form before you submit it to the court.
Illegible Handwriting
Rushed or messy handwriting can make it impossible for court staff to read your name, case number, or the reason for your objection. If the form is unreadable, it may be rejected or misinterpreted, severely harming your case. To ensure clarity, print neatly in block letters. If the form is a non-fillable PDF, tools like Instafill.ai can convert it into a fillable version, allowing you to type your responses for maximum legibility.
Omitting Case Number on Subsequent Pages
The form includes a field for the 'Case No.' at the top of page 2, which is often overlooked. If the pages become separated during processing, the second page cannot be linked to your case file, causing administrative confusion. To prevent this, double-check that the case number is correctly entered on all pages where a field is provided.
Misunderstanding the Purpose of the Objection
A defendant might mistakenly use this form to argue their original innocence or request a new trial. This form's only purpose is to object to the *reinstatement* of a conviction by arguing it was, in fact, eligible for the automatic set-aside process. Using the form to re-litigate the original case is improper and will result in the objection being dismissed.

This form is a court order from the State of Michigan that reinstates criminal convictions that were previously set aside automatically. It also includes a section for you, the defendant, to object to this reinstatement.
Why did I receive this form?
You received this because the court has determined that one or more of your convictions were improperly or erroneously set aside automatically. This order officially places those convictions back on your public criminal record.
What does it mean for my conviction to be 'reinstated'?
Reinstating a conviction means it is no longer set aside or expunged from your record. The conviction will reappear on your public criminal record, which can be seen in background checks.
What should I do if I disagree with this order?
If you believe your conviction should remain set aside, you must complete the 'OBJECTION' section at the bottom of the form. You will need to explain your reasoning and request a hearing.
How do I fill out the 'OBJECTION' section?
In the 'OBJECTION' section, write the line number(s) of the conviction(s) you are objecting to, explain why they should remain set aside, and then sign and date the form. You must then file this with the court clerk.
What happens after I file an objection?
After you file your objection with the court clerk, a hearing will be scheduled. At the hearing, you will need to explain to the judge why you believe the conviction(s) should remain set aside.

Who fills out the top 'ORDER' section of the form?
The top 'ORDER' section is completed and signed by a judge from the court. This section details which of your convictions are being reinstated.
What kind of reason is valid for my objection?
You must explain why your conviction was eligible for automatic set aside in the first place and therefore was not 'improperly or erroneously' set aside. It is highly recommended to consult with an attorney to formulate your legal argument.
Is there a deadline to file an objection?
The form does not state a specific deadline, but you should act immediately. Contact the court clerk's office at the telephone number on the form to inquire about the deadline for filing your objection.
Can an AI tool help me fill out this form?
Yes, services like Instafill.ai use AI to accurately auto-fill your personal information and case details into the form fields, saving you time. However, you must write the legal reasoning for your objection yourself or with an attorney's help.
