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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[A] sentencing court considering a departure should ask the following questions: T) What features of this case, potentially, take it outside the Guidelines’ ‘heartland’ and make of it a special, or unusual, case? ‘2) Has the Commission forbidden departures based on those features? '3) If not, has the Commission encouraged departures based on those features? '4) If not, has the Commission discouraged departures based on those features?’”
