If a case is dismissed and expunged at the state level would it be removed at the federal level?

I case was dismissed (non-conviction) and it was formally dismissed in a county in Ohio. This was 4 years ago, I requested an FBI background check and it's still showing up. Because the case was sealed/expunged wouldn't this be removed from an FBI check?If a case is dismissed and expunged at the state level would it be removed at the federal level?
The FBI records arrests. The state court can order its own records sealed, in sometimes can order the local sheriff or police to seal their own records, but if the FBI learned of the arrest in the ordinary course before the records were sealed, the state court has no authority to order the FBI to remove truthful information from its files or from its collective memory.If a case is dismissed and expunged at the state level would it be removed at the federal level?
Nope, the FBI isn't subject to orders from a state court.
