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

1. ““Defendant places principal reliance upon Lauer v. United States, 7 Cir., 320 F.2d 187 . The indictment in that case was under 26 U.S. C.A. § 4705(a). The court held the indictment vulnerable to an attack on a § 2255 motion but distinguished Rivera v. United States, supra [9 Cir., 1963, 318 F.2d 606 ], upon the basis the charge there made was under 21 U.S.C.A. § 176a. Section 176a is quite similar to § 174 here involved. Thus, Lauer may be distinguishable from our present case. To the extent that the rule in Lauer may be inconsistent with our rule in Keto and our cases following Keto, we observe that we are not bound by Lauer and do not choose to follow it.””

2. “"Defendant's claim that he cannot be sentenced under 21 U.S.C. § 174 as amended because the indictment referred only to 21 U.S.C. § 174 without adding the words `as amended' is plainly frivolous and it warrants no prolonged discussion. Obviously, a citation to an existing official code section includes all amendments thereto then in force." 325 F.2d at 479 .”
