Caseload & timing

From public federal docket records for this judge.

Twenty assigned cases filed in January 2000 were located, all terminated. The slice was dominated by related air-crash matters, and the five sampled records contained no electronic entries, so it does not support career-wide caseload, motion-base-rate, duration, or ruling-speed claims.
