Caseload & timing

From public federal docket records for this judge.

Twenty exact-name assigned cases filed in 1999 were located, all terminated. They included ten habeas matters, six prisoner civil-rights cases, and one matter each involving employee benefits, agricultural law, student-loan recovery, and other civil rights. Eight were sampled across those categories, but every electronic entry stream was empty, so no docket-wide motion or timing claim is made.
