More on how this was screened

One court cited Malooly while choosing to consider briefing despite doubts about its formal sufficiency. Nearby “overruled” language disposed of litigants' issues, and the two “declined to follow” references rejected unrelated authorities.

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.

826 later cases cite Malooly Brothers, Inc. v. Napier; 84 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.
