More on how this was screened

InfoMath, Inc. v. University of Arkansas applied the waiver rule, and Giron v. City of Alexander cited Barnes as supporting authority; Giron's “but see” concerned other cases. Other adverse language described substantive sovereign-immunity doctrine or treatment of different decisions, including Seminole Tribe of Florida v. Florida's overruling of Pennsylvania v. Union Gas Co.

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.

158 later cases cite Richard R. Barnes v. State of Missouri; 139 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.
