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.
“Price Waterhouse defined the term `direct evidence’ negatively to exclude `stray remarks in the workplace,’ `statements by nondecisionmakers,’ or `statements by decisionmakers unrelated to the decisional process itself.’”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“A prima facie case creates a rebuttable presumption of discrimination. Kohrt v. MidAmerican Energy Co., 364 F.3d 894 , 897 (8th Cir.2004). The burden then shifts to the defendant to provide a legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason for the adverse employment action. McDonnell Douglas Corp., 411 U.S. at 802 , 93 S.Ct. 1817 . If the defendant provides such a reason, the presumption disappears, and the burden shifts back to the plaintiff to show that the proffered reason was pretext for age discrimination. Haas v. Kelly Servs., Inc., 409 F.3d 1030 , 1035 (8th Cir.2005). At all times, the ultimate burden of persuasion is on the plaintiff. Lewis [ v. St. Cloud State Univ.], 467 F.3d [1133,] 1137 [ (8th Cir.2006) ].”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“Assuming Suzuki was a decisionmaker, Ramlet has not demonstrated a specific link between the comments and his termination. The comments were not related to the decisional process as the most recent occurred at least four months before Ramlet’s termination, and both were made to employees not involved in the decisional process.”
