(view the case file at) Preliminary Hearing
or even
"see if there is probable cause"
It seems from your note that this is the Preliminary Hearing i.e to see if there is enoughevidence to proceed to trial; see following
The Preliminary Hearing
After an arraignment on the complaint, a preliminary hearing is held to ensure that there is enough evidence to send the case to trial. (When there is an indictment by a grand jury, the defendant has no right to a preliminary hearing.)
The prosecution must convince the judge that probable cause exists to believe that a crime has been committed and that the defendant committed it
The preliminary hearing must be set within 10 court days after the date on which the defendant is arraigned or enters a plea, whichever occurs later . This time requirement applies whether or not the defendant is in custody. However, the judge may find good cause for a continuance or the prosecutor and the defendant both may waive time. ..
At the preliminary hearing, the prosecutor presents evidence, witnesses, and exhibits to support his or her case. Witnesses are sworn, examined in the presence of the defendant, and may be cross-examined . At the conclusion of the people’s case, the defense may also call witnesses to be sworn and examined ...
The court may find that no crime was committed and/or there is not sufficient cause to believe the defendant is guilty. The judge would then discharge the defendant and dismiss the case...
....or is bound over for trial.

it seems from peer comments that I misread your note about "abogados...cuasa judicial" which gave me the impression this was a preliminary hearing. To me "review the case file" means the trial is over.

: it just MIGHT be a preliminary hearing but you cannot assume this; and don't you mean "review" (not "view")?
