A more thorough explanation:

PARAJUDGE

A parajudge is a federal judicial officer who handles civil and criminal pretrial matters and may conduct civil or criminal misdemeanor trials. They are also known as United States Magistrate Judges.

A parajudge may hear a case involving a dispute between two parties before it goes to trial. They may also preside over a trial for a minor criminal offense, such as a traffic violation.

For example, if someone is accused of a minor crime like shoplifting, a parajudge may be responsible for overseeing the trial and making a ruling on the case.

A parajudge is a type of judge who handles certain legal matters before they go to trial. They have the authority to make rulings on civil and criminal cases, but their jurisdiction is limited to pretrial matters and minor offenses. The examples illustrate how a parajudge may be involved in a case and what types of cases they may preside over.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)

Give it 4 more weeks at least. Everyone in this chat needs to wait longer.
