## Claims

### 17,341 all other civil civil cases were commenced in FY2024 (6% of the federal civil docket)

**DERIVED.** All other civil accounted for 17,341 civil cases commenced in the U.S. district courts in fiscal year 2024 — 6% of all civil filings. An AGGREGATED count of AOUSC Judicial Business Table C-3 district rows for this nature-of-suit (occurred=true; adjudged=FALSE — the Atlas summed the district rows, the AOUSC published them). reviewStatus=correction_open: this ingest is under correction (an independent review found the national caseload sum off against the published C-3).

Falsifier: occurred=TRUE: a faithful COUNT/SUM/total over the named record set that introduces NO modeling choice — it IS the case in the record. adjudged=FALSE: Atlas Commons computed the aggregate; Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts — Judicial Business, Table C-3 published the underlying records, NOT this figure. Re-count it from the named source to verify. Distinct from a median/ratio/index (which picks a population, weighting, denominator, or threshold — a constructed statistic → 'derived', occurred=FALSE) and from an authority-published total (→ 'recorded', adjudged=TRUE).

### 100% of all other civil cases involved the U.S. government as a party

**DERIVED.** Of the 17,341 cases, the U.S. government was a party in 17,341 (100%) and 0 were between private parties. The U.S.-vs-private split is AOUSC Judicial Business Table C-3's own party classification — whether the United States is a party to the case (as plaintiff or defendant). The split is DERIVED (an in-house ratio over the counts under correction; occurred=false, adjudged=false).

Falsifier: occurred=FALSE (a calculation, not an event) and adjudged=FALSE (a transparent in-house formula, not an authority's verdict — no external adjudicator). Reproduce it from its named inputs; falsified if the formula or inputs are wrong. Lower warrant than the adjudged figures above.

### All other civil filings concentrate most in Eastern District of New York

**DERIVED.** Across 94 districts with all other civil filings, the most were in Eastern District of New York (2,089). The per-district ranking is DERIVED from the FJC IDB district field (a selection over counts under correction; occurred=false, adjudged=false).

Falsifier: occurred=FALSE (a calculation, not an event) and adjudged=FALSE (a transparent in-house formula, not an authority's verdict — no external adjudicator). Reproduce it from its named inputs; falsified if the formula or inputs are wrong. Lower warrant than the adjudged figures above.

### What this case-category snapshot is — and is NOT

**INTERPRETATION.** These are RECORDED/AGGREGATED filing counts and DERIVED shares for one nature-of-suit category — what was FILED, not what happened. They are NOT case outcomes, merit, win rates, or legal advice. For a legal decision, consult a licensed attorney.

Falsifier: occurred=FALSE (a framing, not an event) and adjudged=FALSE (an in-house reading, not an authority's verdict) — the LOWEST-warrant claim here. A flat representation would render this identically to the official facts; the four-status does not.

Every claim above carries a four-status warrant (RECORDED / MODELED / DERIVED / INTERPRETATION) and a named source you can re-fetch — this is a research object, not a flat fact. Structured: `https://justice-atlas.ryanjhunter.workers.dev/justice/docket/all-others.jsonld`
