* In 2011, 2012, and 2013, a large reduction in cases occurred due to a much larger percentage of appeals settling before court action.

** Additional cases (28,070) were filed in calendar year 2011, but were not entered into the court database until February 2012; such entries were included in calendar year 2012 data (that is, 41,658 of 69,728 cases filed in 2012 were new).
