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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “The rights conferred by Civil Service Commission regulations are very narrow. Procedurally, a probationary employee has the right only to be notified prior to termination of his employment as to the agency’s “conclusions as to the inadequacies of [the probationer’s] performance or conduct.” 5 C.F.R. § 315.804 (1975); Horne v. United States, 190 Ct.Cl. 145 , 148, 419 F.2d 416 , 418 (1969). Substantively, the only limitation on an agency’s power to dismiss a probationary employee is that the agency must honestly be dissatisfied with the probationer’s conduct or performance after giving him a fair trial on the job. Horne v. United States, supra at 150, 419 F.2d at 419 ; Dargo v. United States 176 Ct.Cl. 1193 , 1206 (1966). [Id. at 983]”
