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

  1. “Whether consecutive sentences are imposed solely under the U.S. Code, or under the federal Code and the D.C. Code, all should be added together to arrive at a single aggregate sentence. But because the D.C. Code "otherwise provides,” the 10-year cap [on parole ineligibility] indicated in 18 U.S.C. § 4205 (a) [is] not ... dispositive when a D.C. Code sentence is implicated. Rather, the prisoner ... remain[s] ineligible for parole until he complete[s] service of time equivalent to the minimum D.C. Code sentence or sentences. ... [W]e hold that 1) the same full aggregation approach must be used in calculating the parole eligibility date of persons incarcerated in federal penitentiaries, whether under U.S. Code sentences or both U.S. Code and D.C. Code sentences, but that 2) persons sentenced for D.C. Code offenses must serve time at least equal to the minimum D.C. Code term or terms before they may be considered for parole.”
