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 49 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The period of probation, together with any extension thereof, shall not exceed five years.””
9 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““A probation order, although it does not penalize a defendant by fine or imprisonment, restrains a defendant’s conduct. The power to order such restraint comes from the legislative branch; and, as we read § 3653, the power of a federal court after revocation of probation is limited to the imposition of sentence. The statute specifically refers to the imposition of sentence — not to the grant of probation.” 354 F.2d at 754 .”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““When a violation of probation occurs after the expiration of the maximum five-year term permitted by statute, the court has no power to revoke probation and to impose sentence.” 354 F.2d at 754 .”
