Good law
Every flagged citation to this case has been read, and none of them overrules, limits, or questions it. Clarke v. Stalder remains good law after review of all 30 flagged citations. The en banc Fifth Circuit held that a prisoner could not bring a § 1983 facial challenge to a disciplinary rule when success would necessarily invalidate discipline that revoked good-time credits, unless the disciplinary conviction had first been set aside.
More on how this was screened

The later opinions read apply or cite that rule; none holds that Clarke's rule has been overturned, confined, or rejected.

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.

30 later cases cite Clarke v. Stalder; 30 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 30 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.
