Overruled in part
A reviewed court has overruled part of this case’s holding. Fobbs v. Holy Cross Health System Corp. is overruled in part: the one confirmed treatment is listed below, and the text of one citing opinion could not be retrieved, so the review is not complete. The en banc Ninth Circuit overruled Fobbs's alternate equitable-tolling formulation under California law.
More on how this was screened

Fobbs's other holdings addressed Title VI pleading, health-care peer-review immunity, and the limitations period for a § 1981 claim. The remaining 71 readable flagged citations applied Fobbs or reported treatment of another case.

The treatments below are confirmed; unread citations could still change the overall status.
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, except the ones whose text could not be retrieved.

73 citations to Fobbs v. Holy Cross Health System Corp. sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading; 72 of them have been read, and the text of 1 citing opinion could not be retrieved, so it remains unread. 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.
