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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“This circuit has previously required a plaintiff to meet a heightened pleading standard when subjective intent was an element of the substantive claim and the defendant raised a qualified immunity defense.... We recently held, reviewing a dismissal under Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6), that our heightened pleading requirement does not survive the Supreme Court's opinion in Crawford-El v. Britton, 523 U.S. 574 , 118 S.Ct. 1584 , 140 L.Ed.2d 759 (1998). Currier v. Doran, 242 F.3d 905, 916 (10th Cir.2001). Even though we were reviewing a dismissal in Currier , we noted that Crawford-El decided that the D.C. Circuit’s heightened pleading requirement at the summary judgment stage was improper. Currier, 242 F.3d at 913-14, 916 . Thus, there is no question that our heightened pleading requirement at the summary judgment stage was also overturned by Crawford-El.”
