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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Defendants argue that plaintiffs expenditure of the estate’s funds in connection with the litigation may be inconsistent with plaintiffs fiduciary obligations to the estate[, but this] type of conflict ... could be alleged with respect to any proposed class representative. For instance, if [the decedent] herself were still alive and wished to pursue this litigation, [Defendants [have to] argue that she has a conflict of interest because her personal interest in minimizing the expenses of the litigation may be inconsistent with her duty to maximize recovery for the class members. See State Teachers [Retirement Bd. v. Fluor Corp.], 73 F.R.D. [569,] 571 [ (S.D.N.Y.1976) ] (rejecting conflict of interest argument for similar reasons); Kane Associates v. Clifford, 80 F.R.D. 402, 409 (E.D.N.Y.1978) (same).”
