The word curtail is defined as to cut short or restrict. To curtail an activity is defined as to place restrictions on or prohibit that occurrence of such a practice. The synonyms of the word curtail are clip, terminate, end and abbreviate. Curtailing something is usually done before the activity achieves its intended or proper objective or attains its full extent, so that the activity comes to an abrupt end.

To curtail also means to cease operations to the extent to which it is technically feasible to reduce emissions.

The word curtail schedule is related to the word curtail. It is defined as a listing of the amounts by which the principal sum can be reduced by making payments partially or paying in instalments. It also gives the date on which the payment of each instalment will become payable, which is also known as the due date for the payment of each instalment.

If someone is sentenced as a youth offender and has adjudication withheld can their second amendment be infringed upon?

You don't say what the offense was, but if you received an 'Adjudication Withheld' it seems likely that it was not felony offense. In that case it seems unlikely that your 2nd Amendment rights were curtailed. (By the way: If your 2nd Amendment rights were curtailed by statute law, it is NOT an "infringement.")
