Abrogated
A reviewed court treats this case as abrogated by later authority. Lowrey v. Texas A & M University System is abrogated in part: all 35 flagged citations have been read, and the confirmed treatment is listed below. Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly retired the Conley “no set of facts” pleading standard that Lowrey quoted.
More on how this was screened

Grigsby & Associates, Inc. v. City of Shreveport later identified that link and applied Twombly instead. The reviewed opinions did not displace Lowrey's Title IX retaliation holding, its panel precedent rule, or its rule on leave to amend.

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.

35 later cases cite Lowrey v. Texas A & M University System; 35 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.

    Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly · Supreme Court of the United States · filed

    We could go on, but there is no need to pile up further citations to show that Conley’s “no set of facts” language has been questioned, criticized, and explained away long enough.
