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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““the issue here is not whether plaintiffs will ultimately prevail but whether they are entitled to offer evidence in support of their claims. Scheuer v. Rhodes, 416 U.S. 232, 236 [ 94 S.Ct. 1683, 1686 , 40 L.Ed.2d 90 ] (1974); Lipsky v. Com. United Corp., 551 F.2d 887 , 895 (2d Cir. 1976). Therefore, all well pleaded material allegations will be accepted as true and the complaints will be construed in favor of the complaining parties, Cruz v. Beto, 401 U.S. 319 , 323 [ 92 S.Ct. 1079, 1082 , 31 L.Ed.2d 263 ] (1972); Jenkins v. McKeithen, 395 U.S. 411, 421-22 [ 89 S.Ct. 1843, 1848-1849 , 23 L.Ed.2d 404 ] (1969), recognizing that there cannot be a dismissal unless it appears beyond doubt that plaintiffs can prove no set of facts in support of their claims which would entitle them to relief. Conley v. Gibson, 355 U.S. 41, 45-46 [ 78 S.Ct. 99, 101-102 , 2 L.Ed.2d 80 ] (1957). See generally Scheuer v. Rhodes, supra, 416 U.S. at 237 [ 94 S.Ct. at 1686 ].” Jones v. Knelier, 482 F.Supp. 204 (E.D.N. Y.1979), aff’d unpub’d mem. (2d Cir., May 2, 1980).”
