No, a "case" is always a goto with exactly the same abilities as a "natural"
goto!  You may for example write the following perfectly legal code:

int i = 4;
switch(2)
{
    case 1:
        i = 7;
        while(i < 6)
        {
            if(i != 4)
            {
    case 2:
                i++;
            }
        }
        printf("%d", i);
}

Guess what this prints...
