DJ Position, as of December 31, DJ=District Judge; SDJ=Senior District Judge; FDJ=Former District or Senior District Judge; MJ=Magistrate Judge. MJ/DJ denotes judges who were elevated to district judge between 2010 and Appeals include cases decided as a Magistrate Judge. 2 The number of appeals from the judge s orders or judgments across the three-year period. Appeals are defined on the basis of a unique Court of Appeals docket number. A single Court of Appeals opinion can dispose of multiple appeals (e.g., cross appeals, consolidated appeals, amended appeals). 3 The percent of appeals in which the judgment or order was affirmed or in which the appeal was dismissed. 4 Deviation from the mean percent affirmed across all judges and all appeals in the three-year period. The mean percent was subtracted from the judge s percent (prior column) so that positive numbers show a judge s percent was larger than the mean for that period. Percentages that were consistently above the mean across all four periods are shown in red; those consistently below the mean are shown in blue. 5 Information on percent is omitted if the data from available Court of Appeals opinions and orders showed fewer than 10 appeals over the three-year period. Several judges are not listed in this table because they had fewer than 10 appeals in each of the four periods. 1
