Movement of Criminal / Motor Vehicle Cases 1994-95 to 2017-18 - PDF

The linked table above provides statewide historical information by court location on the number of criminal/motor vehicle cases added, disposed and pending for the past 20 state fiscal years. Please note, state fiscal years run from July 1st to June 30th.

The chart depicts information from State Fiscal Year 1994/1995 through State Fiscal Year 2017/2018. Criminal cases are either processed at the Judicial District locations (major felonies) or at the Geographical Area locations (other felonies and misdemeanors). Motor vehicle cases, depending on the severity of the crime, are processed either at the Geographical Area location, Judicial District location or paid directly to the Centralized Infractions Bureau.

Note on Table Creation: The information in the tables comes from databases that are always being updated. As a result, the tables only show the information that was in the databases on the day they were created. Information in the databases can change because cases that were disposed at the time the table was created were later reopened, or because of the late entry of data. Because of this, all of the tables are created on the 5th business day after the close of the fiscal year.

  • Added case: A case that is entered into one of the Judicial Branch’s automated systems.
