Good law
Every flagged citation to this case has been read, and none of them overrules, limits, or questions it. United States v. Madison McRae remains good law: all 89 flagged citations have been read, and no adverse treatment was confirmed. The reviewed opinions followed McRae's rules for distinguishing true Rule 60(b) motions from successive habeas petitions, handling mixed motions, and reviewing jurisdictional categorization without a certificate of appealability.
More on how this was screened

Nearly every “abrogated” signal was a case-history parenthetical identifying McRae as the decision that displaced parts of Reid v. Angelone or United States v. Winestock, not a later court treating McRae adversely. One court rejected a party's Rule 60(b) timing argument that cited McRae without rejecting McRae itself.

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.

458 later cases cite United States v. Madison McRae; 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.

Relying on United States v. Madison McRae?

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 89 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.
