Reminders

Referring a case for a filing decision

You must create a new referral when formally referring a case for filing. Create a new referral even if a defendant was booked and there is a “case” in PAO Case Info for that law enforcement incident number. That “case” is a shell created for the booking only. We do not review it for a filing decision.

If you add files to an existing booking, our Filing Unit is not notified and a review of your case may not happen. The PAO is only notified that you have submitted a case requiring a filing decision by clicking "Create New Referral". Do not use the follow-up discovery process for creating a new referral.

Superform requirements

You are no longer required to submit a Superform with each felony referral. A Superform is automatically populated with the suspect or defendant's data you enter in the process of creating a new referral. With the new automatic system, it is even more important that you enter the most up to date contact information for each suspect/defendant. Do not rely on existing addresses in the PAO system.
