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.

“Murphy does not dispute that his causes of action based in false arrest and excessive force accrued at the time of his November 1989 encounter with the police, see Singleton, 632 F.2d at 191-193 , and thus were properly dismissed by the District Court because of the statute of limitations.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“It is clear from our precedents that the applicable statute of limitations for 1983 actions in New York is three years ... and that, for claims based in malicious prosecution, this period starts to run only when the underlying criminal action is conclusively terminated.”
