- Local Caseload Management Systems.
Each United
States Attorney's Office has a local caseload management system, LIONS, and
a local collections management system, TALON. Information is used locally
and is submitted to the Executive Office for United States Attorneys for
inclusion in the central caseload management system. In most districts,
these systems are also used to track debt collection activities.
Each office has a System Manager who is responsible for day-to-day
operation of the computer and for assisting data entry personnel. A User's
Manual is provided for each system, which details the information and data
entry requirements, as well as monthly submission requirements. The Case
Management Staff, Executive Office for United States Attorneys, provides
software and user support for the case management and collections systems.

Section 3607 of Title 18 permits the court to sentence certain
first-time drug possession offenders to a probationary term without a formal
adjudication of guilt. Upon the successful completion of the probationary
term, the court must discharge all proceedings against the offender and
dismiss the action. If the discharged offender was under 21 years of age at
the time of the offense, the offender may ask the court for an order
expunging all official records of the case, with the exception of a
nonpublic record designed to prevent an offender's disposition under 18
U.S.C. Sec. 3607 more than once.
- In the event a case is brought which may result in an expungement order,
please contact the Case Management Staff at (202) 616-6919 as soon as
possible. That staff can provide information on measures which must be
taken to assure that records ordered expunged by a court are properly
sealed.
