"He does not appear to be on any sort of probation or facing any similar charges. The request is granted," Mira said.
As a first-time drunk-driving offender, Gibson was eligible to have his convictions expunged after successfully completing probation, including a rehabilitation program, and maintaining a clean driving license.
The judge read a routine statement noting that Gibson's convictions "are still valid for gun control purposes and for priors," meaning Gibson could face stiffer charges if he is ever arrested for drink-driving again.
Gibson, 53, was arrested in July 2006 after being caught speeding along the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu while drunk.
It later emerged he had made a string of anti-Semitic and sexist remarks to police officers during his arrest.
He pleaded no contest to a charge of driving under the influence and was given three years probation, ordered to pay 1,400 dollars in fines and told to attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings for four-and-a-half months.
Gibson, the star of "Braveheart" and the "Lethal Weapon" action films, made a series of public apologies for the remarks.
