Bock remains good law: all 2,564 flagged citations have been read, and no adverse treatment was confirmed. The reviewed opinions applied Jones's PLRA exhaustion holdings or reported Jones's displacement of earlier circuit pleading, defendant-identification, and total-exhaustion rules.
More on how this was screened

Nearby adverse language targeted those older precedents, unrelated authorities, or procedural rulings—not Jones itself. Some machine matches cited a different Jones decision, reported another court's treatment, or presented a party's argument; those opinions did not treat Jones v. Bock adversely.

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.

10,447 later cases cite Jones v. Bock; 2,564 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 Jones v. Bock?

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 2,564 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.
