There are various types of "dockets" in the criminal courts and the civil courts. A "docket" is really a list of cases on a court's calendar or a small entry in the formal record of what happened in a case. What type of case is the underlying action? Does it stem from a DUI or DWI matter? Could it be that your Father's matter was heard or tried and that as part of the sentencing he got probation but also a suspended license? Then if that is the case and what happened here the court clerk will transfer the matter to a different "list" that shows suspension of his license. If this is not what happened please write back and we will try and figure out what went on.
