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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Plainly, an agency’s decisions relating to the acceptance and care of a child placed with the agency by [the City], where the State and City remain ultimately responsible for the child’s welfare, see N.Y. Soc. Serv. Law § 395 , 35 and where the agency’s decisions are directly circumscribed by state and/or city regulations, contain a “sufficiently close nexus [with] the State ... so that the action of the [agency] may be fairly treated as that of the State itself.””
