Based on available data from the investigation and confirmation timelines, the following table lists Biden's Article III judges confirmed after mid-2023 (when autopen scrutiny intensified due to reported decline). These are the most likely candidates for autopen use, per the House report's focus on the "final days" and "last year" of Biden's term. Dates reflect Senate confirmation (commission signing typically follows shortly after). If Trump's challenge succeeds, these commissions could be voided, requiring reappointment.

Re: >>23914711

Of the cases with assigned judges, at least 10-15% involve judges confirmed during the Biden administration (2021-2025). These include district and circuit judges appointed under Biden, some of whom were potentially commissioned via autopen (based on late-term confirmation timelines, as discussed previously). The tracker highlights a concentration in the D.D.C. (U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia) and D. Mass. (U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts), where Biden appointees have been active.

Key patterns:

Coordinated feel? Many cases are brought by Democratic AGs (e.g., California, New York) or progressive orgs (e.g., NAACP, ACLU), often filed in "friendly" districts like D.D.C. and D. Mass. Multiple cases cluster around similar issues (e.g., DEIA bans, funding cuts), with some judges handling 2-4 related suits—potentially raising questions of forum-shopping or "judge-shopping" under critics' "lawfare" lens.

Biden appointee crossovers: Confirmed judges like Tanya Chutkan (D.D.C., 2021), Angel Kelley (D. Mass., 2024), and Allison Burroughs (D. Mass., 2021) appear in high-profile blocks against Trump policies. Late-term appointees (e.g., Kelley, confirmed 2024) fall into the autopen scrutiny window per the House Oversight probe.

Non-Biden judges dominating: Most cases (80%+) are overseen by pre-Biden appointees (e.g., Royce Lamberth, 2001; Beryl Howell, 2014), diluting the "coordinated Biden judge" narrative, though D.D.C.'s bench is ~40% Biden-era.

Status trends: ~60% of listed cases have temporary/permanent blocks against Trump actions, often issued quickly (within 1-3 months), with appeals pending in circuits like the D.C. or Ninth.

Below is a table of confirmed crossovers (judges from Biden era overseeing Trump challenges). I prioritized cases with explicit Biden ties, drawing from the tracker's ~568 cases (though full details on all aren't public; this covers ~50 extracted with judges). For autopen relevance, I flagged those confirmed post-mid-2023 (high-likelihood per prior analysis). Full tracker data suggests ~20-30 total Biden-judge involvements, but many cases lack judge assignments yet.
