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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“After careful review of the record, briefs and contentions of both parties, we hold that plaintiffs claims are not barred by res judi-cata or collateral estoppel. The federal court expressly stated that it “declined to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over Plaintiffs state law claims,” and dismissed them without prejudice. While the federal court did review federal due process and equal protection claims, this Court has stated that “our courts . . . when construing provisions of the North Carolina Constitution, are not bound by the opinions of the federal courts ‘construing even identical provisions in the Constitution of the United States . . ” and that “an independent determination of plaintiffs constitutional rights under the state constitution is required.””
