County of Santa Clara remains good law: all 693 flagged citations have been read, and no adverse treatment was confirmed. Most reviewed opinions used Galbraith in history parentheticals reporting its own overruling of Branch v. Tunnell or Lee v. City of Los Angeles, while others applied its fabrication-of-evidence and pleading holdings.
More on how this was screened

Some district courts later attached abrogation parentheticals based on Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly or A.E. ex rel. Hernandez v. County of Tulare, but the actual higher-court opinions do not name or purport to treat Galbraith; those lower-court recognitions are history reports, not independent adverse acts. Other nearby treatment language concerned unrelated authorities, statutes, and procedural rulings.

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.

693 citations to Galbraith v. County Of Santa Clara 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.
