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 58 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The regulations plaintiff relies upon *** simply provide that an inmate will receive a certain type of a hearing before he is reclassified. The regulations contain no standards governing the Commissioner’s exercise of his discretion, and they, therefore, cannot create the kind of substantive interest which is required before a state created “liberty” interest can be said to exist.”
