How Judge Wang decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
Will grant a claimant judgment on the pleadings and remand to the agency for further proceedings where the ALJ's analysis is deficient.
“Plaintiff's motion for judgment on the pleadings is GRANTED and Defendant's motion is DENIED.”
Procedural preferences
Decides Social Security disability appeals on the parties' 28 U.S.C. 636(c) consent in full opinions; on cross-motions for judgment on the pleadings she remands where the agency erred and affirms where the ALJ applied the correct legal standard and substantial evidence.
“the Court affirms the Commissioner's decision, having found that the decision was based on the correct legal standard and was supported by substantial evidence. Therefore, Plaintiff's motion for judgment on the pleadings is hereby DENIED and the Commissioner's motion for judgment on the pleadings is GRANTED”

Caseload & timing
From public federal docket records for this judge.
The visible docket slice is heavily Social Security disability appeals (SSID Tit. XVI, DIWC/DIWW, RSI) -- the kind of case the court assigns or refers by consent to magistrate judges -- plus FLSA wage-and-hour (many in the 2016-2018 window), copyright, contract, ADA-employment, and 2025 criminal duty (United States v. Chin). Reflects her assigned/consent docket, not a tenure-wide caseload.
