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 50 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““(W)hile plaintiffs vaguely assert that, the defendants departed from the scope-of their official duties in a conspiracy to incarcerate them illegally in a mental institution, Judge Murphy’s award’ of summary judgment as to this allegation was clearly proper. Defendants’ detailed affidavits, categorically denying the existence of such a conspiracy — and, in the case of Lefkowitz, denying knowledge of the plaintiffs’" very existence — were sufficient to require the plaintiffs to ‘set forth specific facts showing that there is a genuine issue for trial’ under the recent, amendments to Rule 56(e).””
