Good law
Every flagged citation to this case has been read, and none of them overrules, limits, or questions it. Battle v.

The added opinions applied its rule for specific objections to a magistrate judge's recommendation or its holding about the Parole Commission's authority.
More on how this was screened

Parentheticals saying Douglass v. United Services Automobile Association overruled Battle on other grounds report a separate appellate-forfeiture change; Douglass did not cite Battle or displace its specific-objection rule.

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.

1,677 later cases cite Battle v. U.S. Parole Commission; 309 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.
