This table provides statewide historical information on the number of criminal/motor vehicle cases added and disposed by type of court location and the number of cases pending at the end of the fiscal year (June 30^th).

The chart goes back to fiscal year 1984-85. 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 are processed either at the GA location or paid directly to the Centralized Infractions Bureau. Three years of similar information broken down by Judicial District and GA are also included.

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.
Disposed case: A case in which a decision has been made.
Fiscal year: July 1^st through June 30^th.
Pending case: A case in which a decision has not been made.
