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 42 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]he petition for removal of a civil action or proceeding shall be filed within thirty days after the receipt by the defendant, through service or otherwise, of a copy of the initial pleading setting forth the claim for relief upon which such action or proceeding is based, [emphasis added]”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“[t]he fact that the filing of the removal petition within the limitation period is not a jurisdictional pre-requisite is not dispositive of the issue in the instant action. The determination that compliance with the time limits is not jurisdictional merely permits a federal court to hear the case when the plaintiff waives his right to have the action remanded to the state court. In this action, there has been no such waiver and the important issue is whether the Court must strictly enforce the statutory limits when presented with a motion to remand.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“Other courts have also held that the failure of one of the (nonconsenting) defendants to take affirmative action seeking removal until after the 30-day time limitation has expired may not be cured retroactively.”
