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.
“At this time, final judgment has been entered, so there is nothing to remand to state court unless the district court’s Rule 12(b)(6) dismissal of [plaintiffs] claim against [the supervisor] is reversed. If that claim is revived, remand will follow automatically because [plaintiff and her supervisor], the only remaining defendant, are citizens of the same state. Thus, the significant issue on appeal is whether the district court erred in dismissing the claim against [the supervisor] on the merits.”
