PROBATION
TERMINATED SUCCESSFULLY
Identifiers and case numbers
The clerk enters information
on a work terminal from a variety of documents, such as arrest warrants,
traffic tickets and police reports. A case number is assigned, the defendants
name is entered along with any identifiers, such as race, date of birth,
drivers license number or address, that appear on the documents.
Often there are blank fields, indicating the identifiers are unknown or
unavailable at the time of processing. Cases with the notation CR,
such as 96CR12345, are cases heard in district court. Cases noted as IF,
such as 98IF2134, are generally minor traffic infractions. Cases with the
notation CRS, such as 96CRS12345, are cases heard in superior court. Cases
can be bound over to superior court from district court. Generally, these
are more serious cases, such as felony. In these cases, 96CR12345 becomes
99CRS12345
Case Disposition
As cases progress through
the court, the case disposition is noted by the clerk. For example, the
case could be DISPOSED and over with, or PENDING action, such as awaiting
a trial date. If the person was called for trial and failed to appear an
OFA, Order For Arrest, will be noted. The individual may have been charged
with a crime but the police were unsuccessful in serving the warrant, noted
by WARRANT RETURNED UNSERVED, or RTNUNSVD, meaning warrant returned unserved.
Trial Dates
Trial Dates are entered
as they are placed on the court calendar.
Charged
Offense / Convicted Offense
An original charge is entered
following an arrest or traffic violation and after a warrant for arrest
has been issued. The designations F,M,T,IF will appear in this field for
Felony, Misdemeanor, Traffic or Infraction. Following the charge is a number
referring to what statute violation is involved in this particular case.
The convicted offense may be different from the original charge. For example,
a person may be charged with Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance.
At trial, this could be reduced to a Misdemeanor.
Offense
/ Disposition Dates
The clerk will note the
date of the offense .When and if the case is settled, the clerk notes the
disposition date.
Plea
and Verdict Codes
Standard abbreviations are
used for the pleas and verdicts and are as follows: Plea
and Verdict Abbreviations
Method
of Disposition
The method of disposition
(MOD) refers to how a case was disposed. For example, if a jury heard a
particular case, it would be given the designation JR. If a case were dismissed
by the judge or district attorney, it would be given the designation VD
for Voluntary Dismissal.. The following is a full list of the abbreviations
used by the clerks: Method
of Disposition Abbreviations
Fines
and Costs
Fines, costs and any restitution
paid as part of a conviction are entered here.
Sentence
Information
If an active sentence is
given, it is noted here. A sentence of 24 days is denoted as 24D, 24 months
as 24M and 24 years as 24Y. A life sentence is denoted by the letter L.
Case
Consolidation
Sometimes cases are consolidated
for sentencing. The case number for consolidation is entered here. This
will be a case number from the same county as the record in question.
Probation
Information
Probation is listed here
and, like sentencing, is given in Days, Months and Years. The type of probation
is also noted as either Supervised or UN-supervised.
Case
Appealed
Cases that result in conviction
at the district court level are appealed. The results of the appeal are
given in the CRS version of the same case number. For example, if case
# 97 CR 123 is appealed to superior court, it will then carry the case
number 97 CRS 123.
Clerk's
Notes
The clerk enters notes here
that reflect a variety of possible actions taken in a particular case.
Specific orders by the judge hearing the case are given here. For example,
a judge may impose specific conditions for probation or conditions under
which a sentence will be served. There are few specific abbreviations used
here by the clerks entering the information. The notes are helpful, though,
especially in helping us track the progress of a case through the judicial
process.
