Good law
Every flagged citation to this case has been read, and none of them overrules, limits, or questions it. Miller v. Simmons remains good law: all 91 flagged citations have been read, and none adversely treated it. The citing opinions applied Miller's rules that civil litigants have no absolute right to appointed counsel, that counsel may be appointed in exceptional circumstances, and that denial of counsel is reviewed for abuse of discretion.
More on how this was screened

Nearly all nearby “abrogated” language reported Mallard v. United States District Court's treatment of Whisenant v. Yuam; other adverse language concerned unrelated authorities. The opinions also continued to apply Miller's collateral-order 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.

400 later cases cite James Henry Miller, and Ollie J. Miller v. R.D. Simmons, Detective and R.W. Leary, Sheriff and His Deputy Sheriff Jailer; 91 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.
