Judge Denise Casper's Summary Judgment Advisements



I've examined the last 10 cases where a motion for summary judgment was heard by Judge Denise Casper and she took the matter under advisement. Here's the time each case was under advisement:

 
            Heard        Decided    Months 
     Apr 10, 2013   Sep 26, 2013       5.6 
     Feb 11, 2013   Sep 20, 2013       7.3 
     May 15, 2013   Sep 16, 2013       4.1 
     Oct 10, 2012   Mar 26, 2013       5.5 
     Nov 20, 2012   Dec 18, 2012       0.9 
      Jun 7, 2012   Sep 20, 2012       3.4 
     Jul 19, 2012   Sep 17, 2012       2.0 
     May 31, 2012   Sep 13, 2012       3.4 
      Jul 2, 2012   Sep 10, 2012       2.3 
     Jun 25, 2012    Aug 1, 2012       1.2 
                                       --- 
               Average                 3.6 
 

Her quickest decision came in about a month, and the longest took over 7 months.

Recently, Judge Casper has been quite busy with the trial of Whitey Bulger. Perhaps that extended the time it took to render decisions on some of her more recent cases.

Bottom line:

Don't expect a decision on this motion for summary judgment later today. A judge needs a considerable amount of time to carefully consider all the issues involved before rendering a decision.
