Abrogated
A reviewed court treats this case as abrogated by later authority. Mack Davis v. Town of Lake Park, Florida was abrogated in part by Muldrow v. City of St. Louis. The Supreme Court rejected the heightened harm threshold for Title VII discrimination claims, expressly citing an Eleventh Circuit opinion that quoted Davis's “serious and material change” requirement.
More on how this was screened

The treatment is listed below. All 69 flagged citations have been read; the citing-case count uses that number as a floor because a full citation count is unavailable.

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.

69 later cases cite Mack Davis v. Town of Lake Park, Florida, a Florida Municipal Corporation; 69 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.
