From the courts' own feeds

Federal civil cases that just moved

District courts publish a public feed of new docket activity. CaseMagic reads those feeds directly and these are the civil cases that have appeared in them most recently — the case number, the caption as the court wrote it, and when the court reported it. Nothing here is summarised or inferred.

Recently reported

Civil cases only. Criminal dockets are not published here: the people named in them are not who this is for, and an indexable page carrying their name would do harm for no reason.

What this list is not

It is not every case, and it is not every filing. Fifty-five of the ninety-four federal district courts publish a complete feed of new docket activity, twenty-six publish only certain kinds of entry, and thirteen publish none at all — so a case can move without appearing here. Every district, and what each one publishes.

It is also not a docket. A feed item carries the court's one-line label for what was filed and never the filing itself. To see the caption, the judge, the status and the entries with their real text, check the case.
