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 41 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[B]ecause the legal sufficiency of a complaint is a question of law, we may affirm the district court's dismissal order if we independently determine that plaintiff failed to state a claim.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Under Rule 56(c) summary judgment is appropriate only if the pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file, together with the affidavits, if any, show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. For that purpose, familiar Rule 56 principles impose on defendants as movants the initial burden of establishing the lack of a genuine issue of material fact. If that burden is met, plaintiffs as nonmovants must then come forward with specific facts showing that there is a genuine issue for trial. On that score an issue is genuine if the evidence is such that a reasonable jury could return a verdict for the nonmoving party.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“the district court must consider: (1) the degree of actual prejudice to the opposing party; (2) the amount of interference with the judicial process; and (3) the culpability of the litigant.”
