Good law
Every flagged citation to this case has been read, and none of them overrules, limits, or questions it. Good law: no adverse treatment was confirmed after review of all 292 flagged citations. Courts continued to apply Arnold v. International Business Machines Corp.'s proximate-causation and personal-participation requirements for civil-rights claims.
More on how this was screened

The nearby treatment language appeared in history parentheticals for other cases, including Monroe, Hoffman, Parratt, and Loux, or concerned unrelated authorities and doctrines; the one duplicate citing opinion did not create a separate treatment.

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.

1,151 later cases cite Arnold v. International Business Machines Corp.; 292 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 Arnold v. International Business Machines Corp.?

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 292 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.
