Case Index Ordering

In accordance with California Rule of Court 2073, a court may provide bulk distribution of only its electronic calendar, register of actions, and index. "Bulk distribution" means distribution of all, or a significant subset, of the court's electronic records. The Fresno County Superior Court is technologically able to provide the latter information, namely the case index, in this manner. Indexes are available in text file and/or spreadsheet (MS Excel) format delivered via electronic mail.

Case indexes are obtained from two separate case management systems depending on the case type requested; specifically, the COFACS system, prior to 6-30-07 and V2 for new Criminal and Traffic cases and the COURTS system for Civil and Small Claims.

In accordance with California Rule of Court 2077, the data fields provided for cases are as follows:

Criminal and Traffic cases are Defendant Last Name, First Name, Middle Name, Defendant #, Filing Date, and Case Number.

Civil and Small Claims cases are Case Number, Filing Date, Case Title, Filing Location, Court, Case Type (Category), and Party Name(s).

NOTE: Social security number, financial, warrant, victim, and witness information, ethnicity, age, gender, government identification number, driver's license number, and date of birth must be excluded from indexes.

Case indexes are run by month at a cost per month of $25.00. Additionally, new accounts are charged a one-time set-up fee of $75.00.
