Every flagged citation to this case has been read, and none of them overrules, limits, or questions it. United States v. Jacobo Castillo remains good law: all 89 flagged citations have been read, and none adversely treated the decision. Many opinions report Jacobo Castillo as the en banc decision that overruled older Ninth Circuit formulations treating an unconditional guilty plea as a jurisdictional bar.
More on how this was screened

The four newly read opinions apply or agree with its distinction between subject-matter jurisdiction and a waivable or forfeitable plea rule. Nearby negative language concerns older authorities or the existence of a circuit split, rather than an adverse holding about Jacobo Castillo.

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.

245 later cases cite United States v. Jacobo Castillo; 89 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.
