How Judge Ramos decides

Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.

What persuades

He gives substantial deference to arbitration awards, denying motions to vacate absent a recognized ground for setting the award aside.

“For the following reasons, Oracle's motion to vacate the arbitration award and Wilson's request to modify the rate of interest are DENIED.”

Procedural preferences

On a Rule 12(b)(2) personal-jurisdiction challenge he resolves the case on that ground alone, declining to reach the Rule 12(b)(6) merits once dismissal for lack of jurisdiction is warranted.

“Defendant Pilgrim's Motion to Dismiss under Rule 12(b)(2) is GRANTED. Because the Court grants dismissal under Rule 12(b)(2), the Court does not reach the Rule 12(b)(6) issue.”

Ramos adopted Magistrate Judge Lisa Margaret Smith's unobjected R&R fixing damages after earlier default judgments entered by Judges Holwell and Oetken in a multi-plaintiff ERISA and New York-law benefits action. The court adopted the recommended damages and entered judgment through an inquest rather than adjudicating a contested party motion.

Caseload & timing

From public federal docket records for this judge.

Sample of the judge's current case assignments. The visible slice is recent and 2026-heavy: alien-detainee habeas petitions (463), a Schedule A trademark-counterfeiting suit (840), an international arbitration matter (896), foreign-sovereign/contract litigation (190), and a Section 2255 vacate-sentence petition (510). It reflects current assignments, not a tenure-wide caseload; the motion-to-ruling latencies in this record are grounded from terminated dockets, not from this current-assignment slice.
