As of September 2026: Presided over the case and approved settlement

Mary Louis, a Black woman using a federal housing voucher, was denied an apartment in Massachusetts.

The score did not consider that a housing authority would pay 73% of her rent, but did consider her credit history, which weighed non-housing debts heavily.
