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.
“The first of the two relevant grievances filed by Bell alleged that Konteh “had [Bell] moved to another [u]nit for no justifiable reason”; that Bell’s case manager informed Konteh that Bell “should not be housed with” certain other prisoners; and that Bell told Konteh that “if this matter is not resolved [Bell] could be in danger.” J.A. at 128 (Compl., Ex. kk). The second grievance alleged that Bell’s case manager and others “called ... Konteh and explained that [Bell] should not be moved down to Unit B because of an imminent threat to [his] safety”; that a number of other prisoners “were very upset that [Bell] had” been moved into their unit; that Bell’s cellmate warned Bell, “Man these Youngstown dudes don[’]t like you and it gonna be some shit, you better watch your back”; and that one day while Bell was sleeping “at least two prisoners [entered his] cell and jumped” him, “punch[ing][him] in the face and head.” J.A. at 129 (Compl., Ex. ll).”
