Abrogated
A reviewed court treats this case as abrogated by later authority. Hafed v. Federal Bureau of Prisons was abrogated in part by Coleman v. Tollefson. Hafed required appellate review to end before a qualifying dismissal counted as a Prison Litigation Reform Act strike; the Supreme Court held that the dismissal counts even while an appeal is pending.
More on how this was screened

The confirmed treatment is listed below. Later opinions, including Carr v. Zwally, recognize this change while continuing to apply Hafed's other rules. All 33 flagged citations have been read.

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.

33 later cases cite Hafed v. Federal Bureau of Prisons; 33 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.
