In the First Circuit

Of the 8 published First Circuit decisions arising from this judge’s cases, 7 were affirmed in whole and 1 reversed or vacated in whole or in part.

Published opinions only — a non-random, selected slice of this judge’s caseload, since most dispositions are not published. A factual record of appeals, not a performance measure or reversal rate.
