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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Indeed, the Committee’s action, rather than being a new civil lawsuit commenced against Mr. Chapman, is nothing but an extension of one of his numerous civil suits (which subjected him to the personal jurisdiction of the court) and an exercise of the court Committee’s inherent power to manage and control the litigation coming before the district court. The Executive Committee, like an individual district judge, has the power to enter judicial orders, such as injunctions. We hold that the Committee was acting within its power to impose filing restrictions against Mr. Chapman, and his challenge to the Committee’s jurisdiction is without merit.”
