In this task, you will be shown a sentence, and you should determine whether it is overruling or non-overruling. In law, an overruling sentence is a statement that nullifies a previous case decision as a precedent by a constitutionally valid statute or a decision by the same or higher ranking court which establishes a different rule on the point of law involved. Classify your answers into overruling or non-overruling

this court's lewis decision, in placing great emphasis on the fact that lewis' petit theft and uttering a forgery offenses were based on the "same act," and in going beyond the blockburger test, cannot be reconciled with recent supreme court rulings.
overruling

see scott, supra at 352; commonwealth v. ruffin, 475 mass. 1003, 1004 (2016).
non-overruling

we note that the supreme court has expressly disapproved of the practice of relying on statements in separate opinions to determine whether a case has been overruled.
