Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
Procedural preferences
In the one fully-documented contested detention determination in the record, Woelfel applied the standard Bail Reform Act factors, weight of the evidence, the length of incarceration the defendant faces, the defendant's ties to the community, criminal history, and a prior failure to appear, and found by clear and convincing evidence that no condition of release would reasonably assure the safety of the community, ordering detention pending trial.
“The Court found that the Government established one or more of the factors above, held a detention hearing, and found that detention is warranted.”

A snapshot on that date: matters listed may since have been decided or reassigned. A motion referred to a magistrate judge is counted for both judges. Motions in multidistrict litigation, section 2255 cases and Social Security appeals are not counted, and a very large three-year count is generally a multidistrict docket.

The table leaves out prisoner petitions, land condemnations, deportation reviews, recovery of overpayments and enforcement of judgments, and reports no median for fewer than 10 cases. A district that closed a large multidistrict litigation in the period shows very large counts and long medians for that year. Source: Table C-5, U.S. District Courts (spreadsheet).
