Caseload & timing
From public federal docket records for this judge.
Twenty assigned cases filed from June through December 2014 were located, all terminated. Eight were sampled across prison conditions, labor, consumer reporting, consumer credit, defamation, property damage, employee benefits, and employment matters. Four sampled dockets had no electronic entries, two ended through settlement or screening without a party motion, and two supplied four grounded procedural rulings. This bounded slice does not support career-wide caseload or duration claims.
