How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Marquez, Charlotte S. is listed with the New Orleans, LA Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 2.6% based on granted and denied asylum decisions represented in the current dataset.

Among the largest nationality groups shown for this judge, the table highlights Honduras (2,739 decided, 1.4% grant rate), Guatemala (1,396 decided, 0.7% grant rate), and Nicaragua (675 decided, 2.4% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.

Grant rate is calculated as granted / (granted + denied). Other procedural outcomes, including terminated, withdrawn, administratively closed, or removed cases, are tracked separately where available and are not treated as asylum grants.
