I guessing you are using find only for the case insensitive option and you are not really interested in files within sub-directories of the current location.

With bash you could achieve this with:

Code:
#!/bin/bash

for file in *
do
   case "${file,,}" in
      *priority*)
               mv "$file" LineItems.csv
               echo "File moved from *priority*"
               break ;;
      *update*)
               mv "$file" LineItems.csv
               echo "File moved from *update*"
               break ;;
   esac
done

The reason I use break above is that if you have two or more matching files in your folder all but the last one processed will be lost. Break causes only 1 file to be moved to LineItems.csv at a time, the presumption here is that LineItems.csv is then copied elsewhere or processed in some way, before this loop is called again.

With a shell that doesn't support ${var,,} you could try these alternatives:

Code:
   case "$file" in
      *[Pp][Rr][Ii][Oo][Rr][Ii][Tt][Yy]*)

Code:
small_name=$(echo $file|tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]')

case "$small_name" in
     *priority*)
