More on how this was screened

The Sixth Circuit identified that change in Eyerman v. Mary Kay Cosmetics, Inc., 967 F.2d 213, 217 n.4 (6th Cir. 1992). Later opinions continued to apply White's other rules, including its holding on the finality of a horse race's official order of finish.

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.

43 later cases cite White v. Turfway Park Racing Association, Inc.; 43 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.
