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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “Appellant has not denied the assault, but contends that his procedural rights were violated by appellee's failure to call all of the witnesses he requested and the failure to furnish copies of the report of investigation or incident report as well as written reports of the evidence against him ... [We] find that respondent's failure to call all witnesses requested does not violate petitioner's basic rights or the Florida Administrative Code. Appellant was furnished with a copy of the charges against him in advance of the hearing and was informed of the information contained in the reports. In view of the possible risk of reprisal against inmates and officers who are witnesses to the disturbance, further disclosure was not required. Finally, we note that appellant's attack on the impartiality of the panel is patently devoid of merit.”
