What does 041980dr010civ escambia county sheriffs office federal charge violation mean?

Answer 1

This appears to be a court case number, although the numbers would usually be in a slightly different format or order. The letters "civ" in a court case number usually mean that this is a civil case (as opposed to a criminal case). Usually the first two numbers come from the last two digits of the year the suit was originally filed; but it is usually offset from the rest with a dash (e.g., 04-1980, indicating that it is the 1,980th case filed in 2004 with this particular court). However, in this case, if the numbers are out of order, the "010" could indicate that it was filed in 2010 and be case number 041980, or the 41,980th case filed in 2010. Most attorneys and legal professionals would have given the latter case number as "10-41980." If this were a state court case (it is difficult to tell from the information given), then the "dr" could well indicate that this is also a domestic relations case filed in the domestic relations division of the court. These cases are mostly divorces, child custody disputes, petitions for injunctions in domestic violence cases, etc. Usually these are kept confidential from the general public.
