Overruled in part
A reviewed court has overruled part of this case’s holding. Doan v. Brigano was displaced in part on the standard of review for a habeas claim the state courts did not decide. In Maples v. Stegall, the Sixth Circuit recognized that Wiggins v. Smith displaced Doan's use of AEDPA deference in that situation.
More on how this was screened

Nian v. Warden later confirmed that Doan's Sixth Amendment analysis of extraneous juror information remains good law. All 35 flagged citations have been read; the one 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.

35 later cases cite James Doan v. Anthony J. Brigano; 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.
