More on how this was screened

The Seventh Circuit rejected Cloe's use of “convincing mosaic” as a governing legal standard, while expressly leaving the result of Cloe and the other named cases intact.

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.

36 later cases cite Nancie Cloe v. City of Indianapolis; 36 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.

    Henry Ortiz v. Werner Enterprises, Inc. · Seventh Circuit · filed

    Cloe v. Indianapolis, 712 F.3d 1171, 1180 (7th Cir. 2013); ... Today we reiterate that “convincing mosaic” is not a legal test. We overrule the opinions in the previous paragraph to the extent that they rely on “convincing mosaic” as a governing legal standard. We do not hold that any of those cases was wrongly decided; our concern is only with the treatment ... of “convincing mosaic” as if it were a legal requirement.
