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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In the present case, although Immigration Judge Meisner's decision ultimately proved to be an incorrect application of the revisions to the immigration laws, this fact did not render his decision void or otherwise subject to relitigation. Since the issue of his deportability has already been fully and fairly litigated [during the course of his immigration proceedings], the doctrine of res judicata precludes DiGrado from relitigating this claim in the present habeas corpus action.”
