What does it mean when the disposition says covered

It usually means when there are multiple counts in the indictment or complaint and the defendant pleads guilty to only one count in full satisfaction the other counts are "covered" the plea to the one count.

It means there was a plea to something else and the other charge was dismissed as "covered" by the plea.

It usually means another case or charge in the indictment is covered by the plea.

It usually means the charges were covered by a plea or disposition from another case. Joseph A. Lo Piccolo, Esq.
