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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Section 1983 does not provide for re-spondeat superior liability; rather, liability is premised “on a recognition that supervisory indifference or tacit authorization of subordinates’ misconduct may be a causative factor in the constitutional injuries they inflict on those committed to their care.” Slakan v. Porter, et al., 737 F.2d 368, 372 (4th Cir.1984); see also Carter v. Morris, 164 F.3d 215, 221 (4th Cir.1999). In order to establish such a claim, “[a] plaintiff must show actual or constructive knowledge of a risk of constitutional injury, deliberate indifference to that risk, and ‘an “affirmative causal link” between the supervisor’s inaction and the particular constitutional injury suffered by the plaintiff.’ Carter, 164 F.3d at 221 (quoting Shaw v. Stroud, 13 F.3d 791 (4th Cir.1994)).”
