Overruled in part
A reviewed court has overruled part of this case’s holding. Jackson v. Madery was overruled in part on prison retaliation claims. Maben v. Thelen rejected Jackson's rule that a misconduct finding supported by some evidence automatically defeats a prisoner's retaliation claim.
More on how this was screened

The confirmed treatment is listed below. All 54 flagged citations have been read; later courts continue to use Jackson's separate rulings on modified grievance access and isolated, brief touching.

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.

54 later cases cite Jackson v. Madery; 54 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.

Overruled in part

  • A misconduct finding no longer automatically defeats a prisoner's First Amendment retaliation claim.

    Maben v. Thelen · Sixth Circuit · filed

    This Court has never adopted the “checkmate doctrine” in a published opinion.2 We now reject that doctrine. A finding of guilt at a prison misconduct hearing does not act as an absolute bar to a prisoner’s First Amendment retaliation claim. ... This Court has applied the “checkmate doctrine” in various unpublished opinions. See, e.g., Patterson v. Godward, 505 F. App’x 424, 425 (6th Cir. 2012); Jackson v. Madery, 158 F. App’x 656, 662 (6th Cir. 2005).
