Good law
Every flagged citation to this case has been read, and none of them overrules, limits, or questions it. Carr v. City of Florence remains good law: all 119 flagged citations have been read, with no adverse treatment confirmed. Later opinions continue to apply Carr's Eleventh Amendment holdings, including that Congress did not abrogate state immunity in § 1983 and that Alabama did not waive it.
More on how this was screened

The two newly read opinions likewise rely on Carr's sovereign-immunity rules. Negative language near other citations concerns different authorities or describes Carr's rule about abrogation.

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.

268 later cases cite Carr v. City of Florence; 119 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.

No reviewed court has overruled or limited this case.

Every one of the 119 flagged citations was read, and each turned out to be something other than adverse treatment: a routine application, a party's argument the court rejected, or the case itself discussing older law. That reading is the finding this page exists to report.
