Depending on the particular state rules regarding expungement, the old expungement can come up if it is relevant to granting the new expungement. Some states, for example, require a certain amount of time to pass before expunging a particular criminal record. The state may look at how long ago the first expungement was granted in order to determine if the subsequent expungement can be granted.
