Caseload & timing
From public federal docket records for this judge.
Nature-of-suit mix from the 20-case initial-assignment cohort (filed August-September 2010, all terminated). This early cohort is heavy on prisoner and civil-rights filings and understates the patent share that later dominated his docket.
