Good law
Every flagged citation to this case has been read, and none of them overrules, limits, or questions it. United States v.

The citing opinions applied Howell's standards for district court review of magistrate judge recommendations and discretion to consider new evidence or arguments.
More on how this was screened

Nearby treatment language concerned other authorities or the disposition of parties' requests.

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.

574 later cases cite United States v. Howell; 104 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.

Relying on United States v. Howell?

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 104 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.
