Every flagged citation to this case has been read, and none of them overrules, limits, or questions it. McNeil v. United States is good law among the reviewed cases: all 128 flagged citations have been read, and none shows a citing court adversely treating the case. The reviewed opinions applied McNeil's rule requiring complete administrative exhaustion before an FTCA action is filed, cited its procedural guidance for pro se litigants, or used nearby adverse language about other authorities.
More on how this was screened

Opinions discussing United States v. Kwai Fun Wong or Copen v. United States distinguished limitations and jurisdictional-label questions while leaving McNeil's mandatory pre-suit exhaustion holding intact.

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.

4,368 later cases cite McNeil v. United States; 128 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.

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 128 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.
