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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In the two instances in which it has been presented with this issue, the Fifth Circuit has declined to reach it, each time finding that the plaintiff failed to establish a prima facie case of retaliatory hostile work environment, even if such a claim were recognized. In Bryan the court did note that “[a]t least the Second, Sixth, Seventh, Ninth, and Tenth Circuits have adopted this cause of action.””
