Ware El v. Social Security Administration
19-cv-01684 (TNM/GMH) · 2019-11-07

Held that a pro se claimant's failure to exhaust administrative remedies is not jurisdictional because he had presented his benefits claim to the agency, so a Rule 12(b)(1) motion was the wrong vehicle; rather than rejecting the motion outright, the court construed it under Rule 12(b)(6) and converted it to a summary judgment motion with further briefing. No motion was resolved on the merits.

Caseload & timing

From public federal docket records for this judge.

  • His more recent docket is largely sealed warrant and criminal complaint duty, which produces no civil motion practice.
  • This bounded sample describes the reviewed records only and is not a census of his caseload.
