Every flagged citation to this case has been read, and none of them overrules, limits, or questions it. Lincoln v. BNSF Railway Company is good law among the reviewed cases: all 99 flagged citations have been read, and none shows a citing court adversely treating the case. The reviewed opinions applied Lincoln's rule that EEOC charge exhaustion is a nonjurisdictional claim-processing obligation and affirmative defense, distinguished other statutory or procedural settings, or used nearby adverse language to report Lincoln's own abrogation of older Tenth Circuit cases.
More on how this was screened

One opinion rejected a party's proposed limitation on Lincoln rather than accepting it.

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.

491 later cases cite Lincoln v. BNSF Railway Company; 99 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.
