Criticized by some courts
At least one reviewed court has criticized this case’s reasoning. No reviewed court has overruled it. All 43 flagged citations have been read. Miles v. Prunty remains cited for equitable tolling, but Patterson v. Stewart disavowed its separate dictum that the one-year grace period for pre-AEDPA convictions expired on April 23, 1997.
More on how this was screened

The confirmed treatment is listed below.

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.

43 later cases cite Miles v. Prunty; 43 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.
