The Dixon County Court Calendar
Dixon County does not run its own calendar vendor. It rides on Nebraska.gov's Multi-Court Case Calendar, which splits results by branch. Pick Dixon County Court with Dixon County selected. That covers traffic, misdemeanor, small-claims, probate, municipal-ordinance, and preliminary-hearing settings. Pick District Court with District 6 for general-jurisdiction civil matters. It also handles domestic cases, felony cases after bind over, judgments, and other district settings. The state calendar's district coverage includes Dixon County.
Treat the calendar as a finder for current and future settings. It is not the full case file. Its notice warns that information may not be timely. A blank result does not prove that no Dixon County hearing exists. For past hearings, filed notices, or an order that moved a setting, turn to the JUSTICE register of actions or ask the clerk holding the case. Nebraska's Multi-Court Case Calendar opens with the court-type and county-or-district choices that start any Dixon County calendar search.
The form lays out both branches plainly. Choose your court first, then search by date or by a last name for the Dixon County court calendar.
Dixon County Calendar Search Fields
Two search methods drive the Dixon County calendar. A date search works only for current or future dates. A last-name search needs at least two characters. A single-letter surname cannot stand alone. The form offers no local daily docket list. The court posts no separate public Dixon County daily-docket PDF. Combine the court, county or district, search type, and date or surname. A broad search alone is never a complete Dixon County schedule.
- County Court
- The Dixon County calendar branch for traffic and other county-court matters.
- District Court
- The District 6 branch used for a Dixon County district-court setting.
- Search By Date
- A current or future date lookup, not a historical calendar search.
- Search By Last Name
- A surname lookup that needs at least two characters.
How to Find Your Court Date
A Dixon County court date can affect whether you must show up. Use more than one route. The online calendar covers current and future settings. JUSTICE case detail opens the Dixon County register of actions. A citation, notice of setting, or other court paper often names the court and case number you need. If an online result is missing or looks stale, confirm with the judicial clerk. Do not trust an old date.
- Identify whether the Dixon County matter is in County Court or District Court, using the citation, notice, or case number.
- Open the Multi-Court Case Calendar, choose the appropriate court and Dixon County or District 6, then search by date or by a last name of at least two characters.
- Check the statewide JUSTICE case record by party name or case number for the register of actions and notices of setting. A one-time name search is a paid path, while courthouse terminal access is free.
- Call Sara Gunderson, Clerk of Dixon County Court, at (402) 755-5607 for a County Court setting, or Quin Rohan, Clerk of Dixon District Court, at (402) 755-5604 for a District Court setting.
- Use the free public JUSTICE terminal or the clerk's counter at the Dixon County Courthouse if remote results are incomplete. A written request may also be sent by mail or fax after confirming the proper court and submission method.
Go to the official calendar before any copied event list. The Judicial Branch's public court-resources page sits beside the case search and other official court services.
That official hub keeps things straight. A Dixon County court-calendar lookup stays separate from county meeting notices and commercial search pages.
Dixon County Calendar Is Not a Daily Docket
Dixon County publishes no separate public daily-docket PDF and runs no court-coordinator telephone line. Anyone expecting a paper list posted online each morning will not find one here. The state calendar remains the public online route. The local fallback is the County Court or District Court clerk, the courthouse counter, or the free terminal during accessible courthouse hours.
A displayed setting can still change. The calendar itself warns that its data may not be timely, so an empty result is not proof that a hearing was canceled or never set. Keep the case number and know the court level. Ask the clerk about any same-day question. The clerk can explain where a case is held. The clerk cannot give legal advice or promise any result.
Reading a Court Setting
Read a Dixon County calendar result field by field, not just as a date. Expect the court and the county or district. Courtroom or location, judge, date, and time come next. Also look for the case number, caption or style, party or attorney names where shown, and setting type. Write each one down before calling. The court and case number help the clerk separate similarly named matters quickly.
| Date | The scheduled Dixon County calendar date; calendar date searches cover current and future dates. |
|---|---|
| Time | The listed hearing or setting time. Confirm it when a reset may have occurred. |
| Courtroom | The courtroom, room, or location when the calendar supplies one. |
| Judge | The judge shown for that setting; the Sixth District directory does not make one judge universal to every Dixon County case. |
| Setting Type | The event label, such as arraignment, motion hearing, pretrial, trial, sentencing, review, or probate hearing. |
Dixon County Register of Actions for Calendar History
The calendar locates a setting. The Dixon County register of actions supplies the history around it. Nebraska describes the register as a chronological listing. It covers filed documents, court hearings, judge orders, and related events. It may show a notice of setting, a continuance or reset, an order, a plea, or a disposition. A disposition there gives a calendar date its context.
JUSTICE, the statewide trial-court system, carries that history. Its case detail includes a case summary, parties, financial information, the register of actions, and eligible document images. An image filed or uploaded after April 16, 2008 may be available when the record is public. An unavailable image can also be older. It may be never uploaded or restricted. Cross-check the Dixon County calendar against the register, and against the clerk when in doubt. The Judicial Branch eServices hub lists the calendar and case-information paths Dixon County users need.
The eServices entry point shows why a calendar search and a register-of-actions check are two related but separate steps.
Resets, Continuances, and Cancellations
A reset or continuance means a setting moved, nothing more. It is not a ruling on the merits. In a Dixon County register of actions, scan for a notice of setting. Look also for a continuance or reset entry, a court order, or a later hearing. New entries can overtake an older calendar result. So weigh the most recent setting against both the register and the clerk.
Dixon County promises no timeline for how fast a changed setting shows up online. If a date is near, call the right clerk. A calendar result may clash with a court paper. Do the same if a case vanishes from a docket search. A disappearance may signal a moved hearing, a restricted record, or slow posting. Never assume it means the hearing was cancelled.
Dixon County Clerk Confirmation for Calendar Changes
Two clerks serve Dixon County because the two trial courts keep different records. Sara Gunderson, Clerk of the Dixon County Court, fields traffic, misdemeanors, small claims, probate, municipal-ordinance cases, and preliminary hearings. Quin Rohan, Clerk of the Dixon District Court, keeps the district-court record for general-jurisdiction matters and for felonies after bind-over.
Ask about a calendar setting with the full party name, the case number if you have it, the court type, and the date on the notice or calendar. County Court lists its mailing address as P.O. Box 497, Ponca, NE 68770. District Court uses P.O. Box 395, Ponca, NE 68770. Both list fax (402) 755-5651. The clerks offer no email or drop-box route for calendar records, so confirm the delivery method before sending anything.
For checking which clerk holds a Dixon County setting, use the official Dixon County Court contact page, the Dixon District Court contact page, and the Dixon County District Clerk page.
What To Do If You Miss a Setting
Act fast after missing a Dixon County setting. Pull the case number and court from the citation, the notice, or the JUSTICE record. Then call the right clerk. The clerk can check the register and current calendar for you, point you to public record access, and quote copy fees. Clerks cannot give legal advice. If an attorney of record represents the person, that attorney is the better source for case-specific guidance.
Missed a Dixon County setting? Nebraska's traffic forms warn that failure to appear can lead to a warrant, and a later missed traffic trial setting may lead to a bench warrant. Do not assume a calendar no-result resolved the matter; confirm the current case status with the court that holds it.
Dixon County Calendar Setting Terms
Trust the event label. It is the one the court itself puts on a Dixon County calendar or register entry. An arraignment addresses the charge and the plea. A preliminary hearing is the County Court probable-cause stage for a felony. Pretrial, motion hearing, status hearing, case-management conference, trial, sentencing, review, disposition, docket call, show-cause hearing, protection-order hearing, and probate hearing are other labels. Each marks a different purpose in the court docket.
A notice of setting gives the date and time of a proceeding. A continuance or reset is simply a changed setting. Dixon County publishes no local calendar-code list, so plain terms beat invented shorthand. When a live calendar or register shows a label, go with the displayed wording. Ask the clerk when a docket entry needs explaining.
