Every flagged citation to this case has been read, and none of them overrules, limits, or questions it. Benito Rodriguez v. Otis R. Bowen remains good law on the review rules later courts applied: all 124 flagged citations have been read, and none contains an adverse ruling on the decision. The original ten-day period for objections is now fourteen days under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1).
More on how this was screened

Later opinions continue to cite Rodriguez for review of unobjected-to magistrate-judge findings and district-court discretion concerning late objections. Some “superseded by statute on other grounds” parentheticals modify Douglass v. United Services Automobile Association; others report the changed period after citing Rodriguez. Neither is a new ruling against Rodriguez's no-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.

441 later cases cite Benito Rodriguez v. Otis R. Bowen, M.D., Secretary of Health and Human Services; 124 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.
