Good law
Every flagged citation to this case has been read, and none of them overrules, limits, or questions it. Marks v. United States is good law: all 197 flagged citations have been read and no adverse treatment was confirmed. The opinions followed or applied Marks's narrowest-grounds framework to identify the controlling rule in other fragmented decisions, or concluded that no common denominator supplied a binding holding in the decision under review.
More on how this was screened

Nearby overruling, abrogation, and disapproval language concerned those other authorities rather than Marks. One source was a party brief rather than a judicial opinion, two duplicate City of Ontario v. Quon records contained no Marks citation, and duplicate flagged citations were screened separately.

Every treatment on this page is written from the citing opinion itself, with a verbatim quote, never copied from a commercial citator. A citation flagged by our screen but not shown here was read and found not to weaken this case.

3,812 later cases cite Marks v. United States; 197 of those citations sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading, and all of them have been read. Citations that did not sit near treatment language were not flagged and were not read one by one, so a court that weakened this case without using any of that language would not appear here.

Relying on Marks v. United States?

This page shows what later courts did to it. Ask about your specific facts and see whether it still carries your argument, with citations you can check.

No reviewed court has overruled or limited this case.

Every one of the 197 flagged citations was read, and each turned out to be something other than adverse treatment: a routine application, a party's argument the court rejected, or the case itself discussing older law. That reading is the finding this page exists to report.
