Case numbers in this district
A case here is numbered like 2:24-cv-01234: a divisional office number, a colon, the two-digit filing year, the case type, and the case's own sequence number. Trailing initials are the assigned judge and the referred magistrate judge and are not part of finding the case.
The part before the colon is the one people leave out, and leaving it out does not produce a near miss — it produces nothing at all, because a docket search matches the number exactly. This district sits in more than one courthouse (Brooklyn, Central Islip, Queens, Long Island and others), and the number before the colon is which one. How to read a federal case number, part by part.
Copy the whole number off the first page of anything the court has sent you. Pasting Case No. 2:24-cv-01234 is fine — the label is stripped for you, as are the wrong kind of dash and any stray spaces.
Being told when this docket moves
If you are counsel of record in the case, this court already emails you the moment anything is filed, free and faster than any service can manage. Take that. Who gets the court's own notices.
If you are representing yourself, or watching a case you are not in, nothing reaches you from anyone. That is what CaseMagic Watch is for: it re-reads the docket on a schedule and emails you when an entry appears it has not seen, naming the case and quoting the entry.
Not in a case, but want to know who gets sued here? The E.D.N.Y lawsuit wire is a free Atom feed of every new civil case in this district, released 48 hours after filing, for a feed reader or a Slack channel. The same cases the morning after they are filed, by email, are a filing stream on the Professional plan.
In the last 14 days the court published new docket activity in at least 40 E.D.N.Y cases, and CaseMagic read every entry within minutes. A stream is how the new suits among them reach a firm's inbox the next morning instead of nobody's.

Questions people ask before they start
Can I look up a E.D.N.Y case without a PACER account?
Yes. The lookup on this page reads public docket data through CourtListener and its RECAP archive. No PACER account of yours is used and no PACER fee is charged to you. Opening a document that exists only behind PACER is still between you and PACER.
Why did my case number return nothing?
Almost always because the divisional office number and colon at the front were left off — "24-cv-01234" instead of "2:24-cv-01234" — which makes the search miss entirely rather than nearly. The next most common cause is the wrong district; the court picker above can be searched by the city your courthouse is in.
Which courthouses does this court sit in?
Brooklyn, Central Islip, Queens, Long Island, Staten Island. Which one your case is in is what the number before the colon records, so it is part of the case number rather than a detail you can leave out.
Does CaseMagic monitor cases in the E.D.N.Y?
Yes. United States federal district courts — all 94 districts, including the territorial district courts. State, county and municipal courts are not supported yet. A watched case is re-read on a schedule and you are emailed when a new docket entry appears; every result carries the time the docket was last read.
Is CaseMagic affiliated with this court or with the federal judiciary?
No. CaseMagic is an independent service and is not connected to the court, the judiciary or PACER. It reads public docket data through CourtListener. The link to the court’s own website above is where to go for local rules, forms and the clerk’s office.
How do I get told the day a new case is filed in the E.D.N.Y?
A filing stream on the Professional plan emails you every new civil case filed in this court, from the court’s own feed, 48 hours after filing, with the parties and a link to each case page. It needs no PACER login. Professional is $299/month after a 7-day free trial, $0 today, and includes 3 filing streams. To follow one case rather than the whole court, check it by number above and start Watch on it for $99/month.
