Immigration Judge LB7

Case Insights: Judge LB7

Immigration Judge LB7 has issued 135 recorded decisions at the SNC in the DOJ EOIR dataset. Of those decisions, 3 resulted in relief granted (2.2%), 0 were denied (0.0%), and 132 fell into other dispositions such as administrative closures, changes of venue, or withdrawals (97.8%). That volume places Judge LB7 among a lighter caseload at the SNC.

The gap between the grant rate and the denial rate is 2.2 percentage points, which categorizes this judge's outcome pattern as heavily denial-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 SNC itself has multiple judges whose grant rates can vary widely, so the best way to contextualize Judge LB7's numbers is to compare against court-wide figures and against peers on the same bench. The court page for SNC 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.
