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 38 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The Ninth Circuit held that Title VII of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 “speaks only of conviction of a felony. It contains no requirement that the conviction be finally upheld on appeal.” Id. at 20 . It specifically held that Liles’ possession of a gun “was unlawful for one of his status at the time he possessed it. It is not made lawful by the subsequent reversal of his conviction.” Id. at 21 . We agree with the rationale of this holding and apply it to this case. See also DePugh v. United States, 393 F.2d 367 (8th Cir. 1968).”
