Cases Disposed

After OAG decides to prosecute a case, it seeks to dispose of—or resolve—the case, either through standard prosecution, alternative prosecution, or by diversion from prosecution altogether. A prosecuted case is considered disposed when there is a final outcome in the case.

Notes: 

  • Cases pending a deferred sentencing agreement are classified as open. 
  • Although judicial summonses also receive a disposition, they are not shown above, because OAG does not consistently receive disposition data on judicial summonses from the Court.
