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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Plaintiff’s blood-gas studies give rise to a presumption, assuming the existence of pneumoconiosis, that such pneumoconiosis is of a totally disabling nature. Part 410, Subpart D Appendix; § 410.424. Plaintiff’s other evidence, indicating the existence of a chronic respiratory or pulmonary impairment, presumes the presence of pneumoconiosis in a miner having had fifteen years of mine employment. § 410.414(b)(1). Taken together, Subpart D Appendix and § 410.414 give rise to a rebuttable presumption that Mr. Brunelli suffers total disablement due to pneumoconiosis. The presumption can be rebutted only upon a showing by the Secretary that (1) the miner does not have pneumoconiosis; or, (2) his respiratory or pulmonary , impairment is not mine related. § 410.414(b)(2).”
