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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We are of the view that plaintiff’s allegation with respect to the existence of the requisite jurisdictional amount and the prayer for judgment combine to constitute at most a defective allegation of the existence of diversity jurisdiction. The limitation qf the principal sum of the judgment sought to $10,000 is entirely consistent with the allegations of the complaint with respect to the amount of the gift ($10,000) intended to be made. If plaintiff had intended to assert a claim for $10,081.25 based on the defendant-appellee’s withdrawal of that amount from the account (the $81.25 apparently represents interest .) the plaintiff should have amended his complaint to assert such a claim .... And the complaint sought recovery of but $10,000 with interest thereon from a specific date. No claim in excess of $10,000, exclusive of interest and costs, was asserted.””
