"CMN" is the anonymized judge code DOJ's Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) assigns in its public case-data release, not a verified public identity. EOIR does not publish immigration judges' full names in this dataset, so this code should not be read as confirming, or attributing these statistics to, any specific named individual. See our methodology for detail.

Statistical data only. Judge CMN's 89.1% grant-leaning history still mixes case types and nationalities, not a forecast for a future merits hearing. Consult a licensed immigration attorney.
