Categories of Miscellaneous Cases
Miscellaneous numbers are assigned to a variety of matters filed with the court which are not properly considered civil
or criminal actions. These matters, however, may be directly or indirectly related to civil or criminal cases pending within
the district or another district. In general, miscellaneous actions are used for administrative matters that require
resolution through the judicial system.
A miscellaneous number is assigned to ancillary and supplementary proceedings not defined as civil actions. Subject to
the limited exceptions noted below, the clerk's office will generally not assign a civil case number to a proceeding that is
not contested before a judge.
