What is a suspense docket?

A suspense docket is a list or system used by courts to manage cases that require further action or monitoring before they can proceed to resolution. Cases placed on a suspense docket may be awaiting certain conditions to be met, such as the completion of investigations, the resolution of related cases, or the availability of necessary evidence. This helps courts efficiently manage their caseloads and prioritize cases that are ready for trial or further proceedings.
