Good law
Every flagged citation to this case has been read, and none of them overrules, limits, or questions it. State v. Ishmail is good law among the reviewed cases: all 102 flagged citations have been read, and none adversely treated Ishmail. The reviewed courts repeatedly applied Ishmail's rule that an appellate court is limited to the record before the trial court and cannot decide an appeal using new material.
More on how this was screened

One additional opinion recorded a party's argument without deciding it. Nearby adverse-sounding language disposed of parties' arguments or concerned unrelated authorities rather than treating Ishmail.

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.

940 later cases cite State v. Ishmail; 102 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.

This page shows what later courts did to it. Ask about your specific facts and see whether it still carries your argument, with citations you can check.

No reviewed court has overruled or limited this case.

Every one of the 102 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.
