Example 1:  At the beginning of the reporting period, 5 Non-Criminal Traffic Violation (Infraction) cases have been classified as inactive (a).  During the reporting period, 50 Non-Criminal Traffic Violation (Infraction) cases are filed with the court (b) and the 5 Begin Pending - Inactive cases are Reactivated (c).  Thirty-five (35) cases are disposed of during the reporting period (d).  The remaining 20 cases are still awaiting disposition at the end of the reporting period and are recorded as End Pending - Active (e).

Example 2:  Eighty (80) Parking Violation cases are in Begin Pending - Active status at the beginning of the reporting period (a).  All 80 cases are disposed of during the reporting period (b).  Forty (40) offenders violate the conditions set forth in their probation orders and must reappear before the court.  The reappearances are filed during the reporting period as Reopened cases (c), sentences are imposed, and the cases are then counted as Reopened Dispositions (d).

Example 3:  During the reporting period, 100 Ordinance Violation cases are newly filed with the court (a).  Seventy-five (75) defendants appear for court and are disposed of (b).  The 25 remaining defendants fail to appear in court and arrest warrants are issued.  After a period of time, these 25 cases are classified as inactive (c).  The reporting period ends while all 25 cases are still in inactive status (d).

Example 4:  During the reporting period, 60 "Other" Violations cases are filed with the court (a).  All 60 defendants fail to appear and warrants for their arrest are issued.  After the requisite period, the cases are Placed on Inactive Status (b).  The defendants are arrested during the reporting period, and the cases are restored to active status; i.e., Reactivated (c).  All 60 cases are disposed of (d) during the reporting period.

Calculating Pending Caseloads    When using all ten available categories in the Caseload Summary, the user can calculate pending caseloads quite simply.  Using the totals from the examples above, the End Pending - Active caseload is calculated by adding the Begin Pending - Active, New Filing, Reopened, and Reactivated cases, and subtracting the sum of the Entry of Judgment, Reopened Dispositions, and Placed on Inactive Status cases.       Begin Pending - Active   80   + New Filing   210   + Reopened   40   + Reactivated   65       395         Entry of Judgment   250   + Reopened Dispositions   40   + Placed on Inactive Status   85       (375)   End Pending - Active 20         The inactive pending caseload calculation is also straightforward.  Add the number of BeginPending - Inactive and Placed on Inactive Status cases and subtract the number of Reactivated cases.       Begin Pending - Inactive   5   + Placed on Inactive Status   85     90   Reactivated   65       (65)   End Pending - Inactive 25
