More on how this was screened

The Court sent it back for reconsideration under United States v. Booker. On remand, the Fifth Circuit found no plain error affecting Malveaux's sentence and affirmed again in a separate 2005 decision, 411 F.3d 558. The vacatur is listed below.

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.

42 later cases cite United States v. Malveaux; 42 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.
