At least one reviewed court has declined to follow this case. No reviewed court has overruled it. Randall v. Scott has one confirmed treatment among all 436 flagged citations read. In Cook v.

More on how this was screened

The treatment is listed below. Other citing opinions followed Randall’s pleading and intervening-precedent rules or reported its displacement of older Eleventh Circuit precedent.

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.

1,038 later cases cite Randall v. Scott; 436 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.
