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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““The administrative record contains an extensive work up by Dr. Gerald R. Williams, a psychologist, which indicates the results of an IQ test administered on January 25, 1998 showing verbal — 61, performance — 60 and full scale — 56 ... There is no suggestion in the report that alcoholism or drug abuse affected the test results or otherwise caused Plaintiffs low intellectual functioning. Although this information was before the ALJ, he did not comment on why the January 25, 1998 test results were disregarded or why they did not establish a listing-level impairment. The Court does not view these results as conflicting with the results of the test administered by Dr. Cappone. Dr. Cappone declared her test results invalid; however, those tests did not establish an IQ above 59. The only evidence in the administrative record is that Plaintiffs full scale IQ is below 59.””
