  • No recorded activity.

Cases

Appellate cases on which this judge sat, drawn from panel information published with each decision.

No panel assignments recorded in the ingested window.

Judicial writings

No writings are attributed to this judge in the ingested records.

For recent Courts of Appeals opinions CourtListener frequently publishes the decision as a single document without naming the authoring judge, so an absence here means the attribution is unavailable upstream โ€” not that the judge has written nothing.
