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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““(e) If the local board determines that the registrant does not have a disqualifying medical condition or physical defect which appears in the list described in § 1628.1, or if the local board has any doubt concerning the existence of any such condition or defect, the local board shall order the registrant to report for armed forces physical examination as provided in section 1628.11.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“«* * * Here, Smith brought the matter to the Board’s attention only after he had been examined and found acceptable. The local board did act on it; it ordered him to report for a second physical examination, a procedure that was in substantial conformity with 32 C.F.R. § 1628.4 (e). In the absence of contrary evidence, we assume that the determination referred to in that subsection was made, i. e., that the board had a doubt as to the existence of the claimed disqualification. That determination is supported by ample basis in fact in the record.””
