Every flagged citation to this case has been read, and none of them overrules, limits, or questions it. Mireles v. Waco remains good law: all 181 flagged citations have been read, and none adversely treated the decision. The citing opinions applied Mireles's absolute judicial-immunity rule and its two express exceptions, including decisions denying immunity for nonjudicial conduct or applying immunity to judicial acts within jurisdiction.
More on how this was screened

Nearby treatment language concerned unrelated precedents, sovereign-immunity doctrines, statutory changes affecting injunctive relief, procedural objections, or history parentheticals reporting another authority's act.

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.

4,474 later cases cite Mireles v. Waco; 181 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.
