The term is a reference to a particular case (in this instance a State of California case (People v. Sesslin (1968) 68 Cal.2nd 418) which sets forth what must be contained in an affidavit for a warrant (i..e.: 'Probable Cause'), when a warrant is applied for by law enforcement.

In common everyday law enforcement usage, simply the term "warrant affidavit" is more commonly used, dropping the specific reference to Sesslin.

To answer the question, if the case is, in fact, ongoing, it would APPEAR that the prosecution believes that PC exists to uncover further evidence, (or arrest further individuals) in relation to the ongoing case.
