More on how this was screened

Arguments that the exception had lost force were rejected; other opinions applied the rule's own boundary or discussed separate precedents.

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.

382 later cases cite United States v. Gabriel Pacheco-Zepeda; 164 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.
