Caseload & timing
From public federal docket records for this judge.
Median case duration in the sampled dockets: 264 days (N = 9).
Median motion-to-ruling time: 93 days (N = 2).
The reviewed Orlando civil matters filed from 2018 through 2021 include False Claims Act, disability-access, consumer-communications, fraud, trademark, insurance, and civil-rights cases. False Claims Act matters often remain sealed during lengthy intervention periods, making them poor measures of dispositive-motion timing. The written decisions reviewed here more often reflect contested insurance, trademark, debt-collection, and civil-rights disputes. This is descriptive context rather than a complete caseload measure.
