Immigration Judge CAB

Case Insights: Judge CAB

Immigration Judge CAB has issued 2,799 recorded decisions at the SND in the DOJ EOIR dataset. Of those decisions, 1,963 resulted in relief granted (70.1%), 16 were denied (0.6%), and 820 fell into other dispositions such as administrative closures, changes of venue, or withdrawals (29.3%). That volume places Judge CAB among a substantial docket at the SND.

The gap between the grant rate and the denial rate is 69.5 percentage points, which categorizes this judge's outcome pattern as grant-leaning relative to national EOIR norms. Because every case before an immigration judge depends on nationality, relief type, representation status, and country conditions, these aggregate rates are not a predictor of any single future decision. TRAC Immigration and DOJ EOIR both caution readers to interpret judge-level rates as descriptive rather than prescriptive statistics.

The SND itself has multiple judges whose grant rates can vary widely, so the best way to contextualize Judge CAB's numbers is to compare against court-wide figures and against peers on the same bench. The court page for SND lists all sitting judges and their recorded outcome rates, making side-by-side comparison of caseloads and grant percentages straightforward for researchers, attorneys, and respondents.
