The Nine Old Men
While President Franklin D. Roosevelt was credited with creating the nickname "The Nine Old Men" in reference to the US Supreme Court and its elderly justices, the phrase was originally coined by newspaper columnists Drew Pearson and Robert W. Allen in 1932.
Pearson and Allen wrote a regular column called Washington Merry-Go-Round and, in 1932, published a book named More Merry-Go-Round, that included a chapter about the Supreme Court justices titled "Nine Old Men." The label stuck, much to the dismay of the Court.
To make matters worse, Pearson and Allen released a book titled Nine Old Men in 1936. Justices Cardozo and Brandeis, progressives who were both over 70, were especially offended by the authors' characterization of the Court.
Roosevelt used the label with great frequency during his 1937 court-packing campaign.
President Roosevelt called the enemies of the Allies the same thing all the allies called them, The Axis Forces.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt called for courageous action, treating the Depression as a national emergency like war, and reorganizing the use of national resources.
The program was called The New Deal.
The former president called the attack at the naval station, "A day that will live in infamy."
Harry Truman did not want to be Vice President of the United States. Many people expected Harry Truman to be nominated for Vice President in 1944, but Truman constantly protested that he had no desire to be Vice President or even President. Truman went so far as to agree to nominate another politician as Vice Presidential candidate at the Democratic Convention. It took a call from President Franklin Delano Roosevelt to urge Truman to stand for Vice President because the nation needed him. Although few were aware at the time, Roosevelt was seriously ill and knew he would not likely survive another term as President. Roosevelt wanted to be sure that the best person in the country would succeed him as President.

Court abbreviations, case notations, and 'slang' are not universal from one court system to another. Outside of the fact that it is the standardly used initials of a past-US President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, no other meaning for this could be found. Your best bet would be to call the Clerk of Court office for that courthouse and ask them what it means to them.
President Roosevelt called December 7, "A day that will live in Infamy
