These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 55 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“awarding post-judgment interest is not a 'reward,' but rather just compensation to ensure that a money judgment will be worth the same when it is actually received as it was when it was awarded.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Where a single item such as attorneys’ fees is reduced on appeal, the district court’s determination should be viewed as correct to the extent it was permitted to stand, and interest on a judgment thus partially affirmed should be computed from the date of its initial entry. We alternatively hold that interest should run from the date of entry of the original judgment because that is the date on which the correct judgment should have been entered. In so ruling, we decline to hold that the cost of the loss of use of a money judgment pending appeal should be borne by an injured plaintiff rather than a defendant whose initial wrongful conduct invoked the judicial process and who has had the use of the money judgment throughout the period of delay.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Gonzalez v. Tounjian“Interest shall be allowed on any money judgment in a civil case recovered in a district court.... Such interest shall be calculated from the date of the entry of the judgment, at a rate equal to the weekly average 1-year constant maturity Treasury yield, as published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, for the calendar week preceding the date of the judgment. 4”
