It sounds like you are saying that your Boyfriend is under supervision by some state entity and got a DUI.  The state entity will find out and begin Violation proceedings.  The duration of these proceedings does not count against his time.  So, if it is not done by December it does not mean that he gets off, it means that he is still on probation until the matter is disposed of.  If he is found guilty there will be a direct violation and he could get additional jail time.  If he fails to report it, he could be on the hook for a technical violation, even if he is acquitted.  He needs to make sure his DUI attorney is aware of the VOP and working on that as well as usually the best outcomes in these cases involve both matters.
