Immigration Judge CAH

Case Insights: Judge CAH

Immigration Judge CAH has issued 8,746 recorded decisions at the SNA in the DOJ EOIR dataset. Of those decisions, 3,501 resulted in relief granted (40.0%), 16 were denied (0.2%), and 5,229 fell into other dispositions such as administrative closures, changes of venue, or withdrawals (59.8%). That volume places Judge CAH among one of the higher-volume dockets at the SNA.

The gap between the grant rate and the denial rate is 39.8 percentage points, which categorizes this judge's outcome pattern as roughly balanced 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 SNA itself has multiple judges whose grant rates can vary widely, so the best way to contextualize Judge CAH's numbers is to compare against court-wide figures and against peers on the same bench. The court page for SNA 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.
