Small sample

With only 3 decisions this percentage is an estimate with a wide spread, not a characteristic of the judge. The interval shows how wide.

How this percentage is calculated
Grant rate = granted / (granted + denied). Administrative closures, withdrawals, abandonment and "not adjudicated" are excluded from the denominator. The unit of count is a decision per proceeding, not per application: applicants almost always file asylum, withholding and CAT protection together. Withholding and CAT grants are counted separately from asylum. U.S. fiscal year: October 1 – September 30.

How this compares

  • IY67% (3)
  • All U.S. courts33% (1,350,724)

This comparison does not adjust for which cases a judge was given: judges see different nationalities, different shares of detained respondents, and different rates of legal representation. A difference in percentages does not by itself mean identical cases were treated differently.

Trend by fiscal year

Not enough yearly data to chart

Representation

"Represented" means a respondent's representative was on record no later than the decision date. The release contains no representative names. The gap between represented and unrepresented reflects both quality of counsel and which cases find counsel at all — it does not follow that counsel raises the odds by exactly this much.

  • Represented50% (2)
  • Unrepresented100% (1)

Custody

Custody and detention fields are not sourced from EOIR but from DHS — the release's own Readme says so. This breakdown shows the composition of the judge's docket, not the judge's treatment of detained people.

Data comes from the monthly EOIR Case Data release (U.S. DOJ FOIA Library). This service is not affiliated with the U.S. government and does not provide legal advice. The data lags by roughly a month; for current case status use ACIS and Respondent Access. The source is known to have missing records, including relief applications — absent data does not mean it is absent from your case.
