Caseload & timing

From public federal docket records for this judge.

Durations shown are short pro-se screening terminations (days to weeks), which reflect his senior-judge screening role, not contested-merits case length. The counseled Szeto merits case (filed 2022-06-27) was still pending at last review. This is not a representative merits-duration distribution; a counseled terminated-civil sample would be needed before reading it as one.
