- Followed be the two digit
year (i.e., "03" for cases in the year 2003)
- Followed by the six digit
case number (i.e., "001234")
- The end result would be the

- All case numbers
issued prior to January 1, 2000, were in a six (6) digit

- Followed be the two digit
year (i.e., "99" for cases in the year 1999)
