How Judge Nardacci decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
Procedural preferences
In John, Nardacci denied leave to amend after dismissal when a proposed caption change asserted individual-capacity claims but the proposed allegations still described officers acting within their official roles.
“Plaintiff cannot avoid dismissal by merely proposing to amend the caption in a manner unsupported, and in fact contradicted, by the allegations in both the existing pleading and the proposed pleading.”

A snapshot on that date: matters listed may since have been decided or reassigned. A motion referred to a magistrate judge is counted for both judges. Motions in multidistrict litigation, section 2255 cases and Social Security appeals are not counted, and a very large three-year count is generally a multidistrict docket.

The table leaves out prisoner petitions, land condemnations, deportation reviews, recovery of overpayments and enforcement of judgments, and reports no median for fewer than 10 cases. A district that closed a large multidistrict litigation in the period shows very large counts and long medians for that year. Source: Table C-5, U.S. District Courts (spreadsheet).
