The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “Any employer who violates the provisions of section 15(a)(3) of this Act [ 29 USCS § 215(a)(3) ] [ 4 ] shall be liable for such legal or equitable relief as may be appropriate to effectuate the purposes of section 15(a)(3) .... An action to recover the liability prescribed in the preceding sentences may be maintained against any employer (including a public agency) in any Federal or State court of competent jurisdiction by any one or more employees for and in behalf of himself or themselves and other employees similarly situated. ... The court in such action shall, in addition to any judgment awarded to the plaintiff or plaintiffs, allow a reasonable attorney's fee to be paid by the defendant, and costs of the action.”

2. “State procedural rules apply to federal causes of action in state court, unless the federal right is defeated thereby. ( Felder v. Casey (1988) 487 U.S. 131 , 138 [ 108 S.Ct. 2302 , 101 L.Ed.2d 123 ].) Generally speaking, the use of California postjudgment procedures to recover attorney fees and costs authorized by a federal statute does not appear to be inconsistent with federal law. (See Gill v. Hughes (1991) 227 Cal.App.3d 1299 , 1310 [ 278 Cal.Rptr. 306 ] [assessing award of attorney fees under 42 U.S.C. § 1988 in state court postjudgment proceedings].)”
