To the outside observer, it might seem like U.S. District Judge Edward Davila, one of just three Article III judges in the Northern District’s busy San Jose courthouse, has a tough time making up his mind.
According to the latest report by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, Davila has 76 civil motions that have been pending for more than six months on his docket. That number accounts for nearly 60 percent of all 128 long-pending motions reported by judges in the Northern District of California for the period ending Sept. 30, 2016.
