Caseload & timing
From public federal docket records for this judge.
Two civil terminated durations were captured (Gattenby 281 days, Williams 557 days). Burnett (1:23-cv-02381) was still pending at last review (partial summary judgment entered, contract/unjust-enrichment claims set for trial). This is not a distribution; a broader terminated-civil sample would be needed before reading it as one.
