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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“the preferable procedure for the District Court to follow is to grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis if the requirements of 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915 (a) are satisfied on the face of the papers submitted, and dismiss the proceeding under 28 U.S. C.A. § 1915(d) if the course [court] thereafter discovers that the allegation of poverty is untrue or the action is frivolous or malicious.”
