Overruled in part
A reviewed court has overruled part of this case’s holding. White v. Lambert was overruled in part: all 121 flagged citations have been read, and the one confirmed treatment is listed below. The en banc Ninth Circuit in Hayward v. Marshall overruled White's rule that a state prisoner challenging an administrative decision about the execution of a sentence need not obtain a certificate of appealability.
More on how this was screened

Later opinions repeatedly reported Hayward's act while continuing to apply White's unaffected holdings about Sections 2241 and 2254 and its general statutory-interpretation principles.

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.

331 later cases cite Joel White v. John Lambert, Superintendent; 121 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.

Treatments

Overruled in Part

  • The en banc Ninth Circuit overruled White's exception to the certificate-of-appealability requirement for state prisoners challenging administrative decisions about the execution of their sentences.

    Hayward v. Marshall · Ninth Circuit (en banc) · filed

    We therefore overrule those portions of White and Rosas which relieve a prisoner from obtaining a certificate of appealability from administrative decisions such as denial of parole and prison transfer. A certificate of appealability is necessary to confer jurisdiction on this court in an appeal from a district court's denial of habeas relief in a § 2254 case, regardless of whether the state decision to deny release from confinement is administrative or judicial.
