Background Checks: Can I Answer No to the Background

Have you ever been convicted of, or pled guilty or nolo contendere to ANY offense in the United States or a foreign country? This includes every citation, infraction, misdemeanor and/or felony, including any traffic violation. NOTE: Convictions that were adjudicated in the juvenile court or convictions two years or older under California Health and Safety Code sections 11357(b), (c), (d), (e) or section 11360(b) should NOT be reported. Convictions that were later expunged from the records of the court or set aside pursuant to section 1203.4 of the California Penal Code or equivalent non-California law MUST be disclosed. Proof of Dismissal: If you have obtained a dismissal of your conviction(s) pursuant to sections 1203.4, 1203.4a, or 1203.41, please submit a certified copy of the court order dismissing the conviction(s) with your application.

My Doj shows 243 E 1 Dispo: Dismissed/furtherance of justice?

So Can I answer No, since I was never convicted?

Thank you for your time.
