Most-quoted passages
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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“If a federal court were to decide--as the district judge did in this case-that his due process rights were not violated, that decision could also have preclusive effect in state court, possibly preventing Dixon from obtaining the one type of relief which is probably most important to him, or at least to most similarly situated prisoners--restoration of good time credits.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Clarke v. Stalder“To decide that [Dixon] is entitled to damages would be to determine that his due process rights were violated in the matter in which the disciplinary proceedings were conducted, and that determination, in turn, would call into question the results of the hearing.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Umar v. Johnson“that the conviction or sentence has been reversed on direct appeal, expunged by executive order, declared invalid by a state tribunal authorized to make such determination, or called into question by a federal court's issuance of a writ of habeas corpus.”
