Mr hall,you forgot to post 1-59 hearing ranking reports.You have posted a duplication.Please correct.Thank you.
Its also important to recognize that this is the "snapshot" report for cases disposed of in May only, not year to date. Year to date avg processing time for FY2009 is 495 days through the end of June. At the end of FY2008 it was 514.
Its also important to remember that with the extensive transfer of files between offices, this report is no longer an accurate indicator of how long an office takes to dispose of cases in its own service area. In other words, if a 2 year old case is transferred from office A to office B and then disposed of in 3 months, that case would show up in this report under office B's numbers with a processing time of 27 months
"this report is no longer an accurate indicator of how long an office takes to dispose of cases in its own service area"
I certainly concur or agree with that statement.
