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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We recognize that our decisions have not been entirely consistent on whether the relevant entity in an official-capacity suit against a sheriff in Florida is the County or the Sheriffs Department (as a unit operating autonomously from the County). Compare Lucas v. O’Loughlin, 831 F.2d 232 , 235 (11th Cir.1987) (County) with Wright v. Sheppard, 919 F.2d 665, 674 (11th Cir.1990) (implying that the Sheriffs Department would be the relevant entity). We do not address this point because our holding today is that whatever the relevant entity was, it is not liable under Monell.”
