Immigration Judge RAN

Case Insights: Judge RAN

Immigration Judge RAN has issued 2,954 recorded decisions at the HYA in the DOJ EOIR dataset. Of those decisions, 1,678 resulted in relief granted (56.8%), 124 were denied (4.2%), and 1,152 fell into other dispositions such as administrative closures, changes of venue, or withdrawals (39.0%). That volume places Judge RAN among a substantial docket at the HYA.

The gap between the grant rate and the denial rate is 52.6 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 HYA itself has multiple judges whose grant rates can vary widely, so the best way to contextualize Judge RAN's numbers is to compare against court-wide figures and against peers on the same bench. The court page for HYA 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.
