These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “First, is the plaintiff ‘one of the class for whose especial benefit the statute was enacted,’ ... Second, is there any indication of legislative intent, explicit or implicit, either to create such a remedy or to deny one?

[Fourth,] is the cause of action one traditionally relegated to state law, in an area basically the concern of the States, so that it would be inappropriate to infer a cause of action based solely on federal law?”
