Every flagged citation to this case has been read, and none of them overrules, limits, or questions it. Good law. All 340 flagged citations have been screened, and none confirmed adverse judicial treatment of Ortiz v. Werner Enterprises, Inc. The courts applied its requirement to evaluate the evidence as a whole, or reported Ortiz’s own overruling of earlier direct/indirect and “convincing mosaic” formulations.
More on how this was screened

Continued use of McDonnell Douglas did not limit Ortiz, which expressly preserved that framework. One added Fourth Circuit opinion referred to a different Ortiz case. Terminological differences and separate writings supplied no adverse holding.

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.

1,674 later cases cite Ortiz v. Werner Enterprises, Inc.; 340 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.
