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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he Lands Act, when it made state law applicable in the absence of conflicting applicable federal law, did not differentiate between procedural and substantive law. There is here no applicable federal law pertaining to the time within which a suit for personal injuries or death should be filed.... [S]ince plaintiff derives his right or cause of action by virtue of state law, made applicable by the Lands Act, he must also accept the prescriptive period specifically provided by that same state law which creates his right or cause of action. 310 F.Supp. at 232 .”
