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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In Wilkins , the Appeals Council had considered the ‘interim’ evidence, but denied further review without setting forth specific findings as to the weight accorded the new evidence. Upon its own consideration of the ‘interim’ evidence, the Fourth Circuit found that the record clearly supported Wilkins’ application for benefits. Accordingly, the Fourth Circuit reversed the Commissioner without requiring additional administrative proceedings. The court does not believe that the decision in Wilkins speaks to the situation in which the ‘interim’ evidence merely serves to create a conflict with other evidence already of record. In that circumstance, the court believes that it is still necessary for the Commissioner to indicate his reasons in support of the resolution of the factual conflicts, so that the court may undertake a meaningful substantial evidence review. The court finds ‘good cause’ for remand of the instant case for this purpose.”
