Caseload & timing
From public federal docket records for this judge.
The reviewed assigned-case cohorts included insurance, maritime, employment, civil-rights, securities, contract, bankruptcy, prisoner, and statutory matters. Because retained entries were sparse and some assigned cases contained orders signed by other judges, no career-wide caseload or timing claim is made.
