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

1. “To discern implicit authority in section 3583 to impose supervised release following revocation, the Johnson Court departed from the “conventional” meaning of the term “revoke.” The Johnson Court read this term to mean “to recall” or “to summon back,” rather than “to terminate.” The Johnson Court based this departure on, inter alia, the text of section 3583. In particular, the Johnson Court emphasized that when Congress intended the meaning “terminate” elsewhere within section 3583(e), Congress employed the word “terminate,” rather than the word “revoke.” Id. at 707, n. 9,707-10, 529 U.S. 694 , 120 S.Ct. 1795 , 146 L.Ed.2d 727 . Section 841(c) is not subject to any comparable textual analysis, for the word “terminate” does not appear in section 841(c). Doyle, 447 F.Supp.2d at 1129 .”

2. “Three things are “special” about special parole: first, special parole follows the term of imprisonment, while regular parole entails release before the end of the term; second, special parole was imposed, and its length selected, by the district judge rather than by the Parole Commission; third, when special parole is revoked, its full length becomes a term of imprisonment. In other words, “street time” does not count toward completion of special parole; as a rule, however, persons serving [regular] parole are returned to prison only for the remainder of their term, for the clock runs continuously.”

3. “A special parole term ... may be revoked if its terms and conditions are violated. In such circumstances the original term of imprisonment shall be increased by the period of the special parole term and the resulting new term of imprisonment shall not be diminished by the term which was spent on special parole. A person whose special parole term has been revoked may be required to serve all or a part of the remainder of the new term of imprisonment. A special parole term ... shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other parole provided by law.”
