Rafael Navarro v. Sherman Block
Is it still good law? What later courts have actually done to this case.
Status
More on how this was screened
Later opinions continued to apply Navarro's Rule 12(b)(6) standards. One opinion reported Navarro's modification of Trevino v. Gates rather than treating Navarro adversely; nearby adverse language concerned other precedents.
2,228 later cases cite Rafael Navarro v. Sherman Block; 101 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.
