When it says that the case status is active is means that the case is still being worked on. The case will be active until it is finalized.
"Cert" is short for "certiorari," which refers to the appeal (petition for a writ of certiorari) a party files with the Supreme Court requesting the justices review the case. If the justices decide against hearing the case, they deny the petition. This is usually abbreviated and referred to as "cert denied."
When a case status is active but disposed, it typically means that the case is no longer pending or open, but that it has been resolved or completed in some way. The term "disposed" generally indicates that a final decision or judgment has been made on the case.
It can mean that the case is still open and under active investigation or prosecution.
I can only believe that you mis-understood or mis-read the word or that it was poorly written. There is no such case status (either law enforcment or court related) that I am aware of. If you actually mean RE-ACTIVATED - then it would mean that the case has been re-opened and is once again under active investigation or is currently on the docket at court.
It means the case has not yet been finally resolved by the court.
