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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Appellant’s dismissal from a position in the Department of Justice was sustained by the Civil Service Commission’s Board of Appeals and Review on March 4, 1955. On June 29,1955, the Commission declined to reopen the matter. On March 27, 1958, appellant filed a complaint “for illegal separation from government service.” The District Court granted appellee’s motion for summary judgment. The claim was barred by laches. We need not consider appellee’s other contentions. [ 269 F. 2d 227 ]”
