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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“First, I must recognize that in the 7th Circuit under Morales, § 1983 actions brought by persons convicted of crime to challenge correctional measures are not to be administered in the same manner as § 1983 actions brought by persons not convicted of crime. In eases brought by persons convicted of crime challenging correctional measures, I must “initially . . . examine the individual interest at stake and consign it to one of two categories: fundamental or non-fundamental.” Mabra, supra at 628 . Then, if I determine that the individual interest is fundamental, I must further decide whether it is a “category (a)” fundamental interest or a “category (b)” fundamental interest. If the fundamental individual interest falls within “category (a)”, I must allocate to the state the burden of showing a compelling governmental interest in the limitation or denial (if the challenge is brought under the Due Process Clause) or in the differential in treatment (if the challenge is brought under Equal Protection). On the other hand, if the fundamental individual interest falls within “category (b)” the state has the burden of showing only a rational relationship or a reasonable necessity. Mabra, supra at 628-629 .”
