More on how this was screened

The apparent abrogation references concern other decisions, chiefly United States v. Cepero and In re Dorsainvil.

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.

64 later cases cite Cradle v. United States ex rel. Miner; 64 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.
