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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Plaintiff's evidence of age-based animus is that she overheard [her supervisor] on the telephone stating that 'older people' 'slow down' and 'should retire.' This single remark does not demonstrate that [the supervisor] terminated the Plaintiff because of her age.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“That [the plaintiffs] termination necessarily prevented him from taking future FMLA leave — which he had not yet requested, and had no plans to request — does not create an issue of fact as to whether [the defendant] attempted ‘to interfere with, restrain, or deny the exercise of or the attempt to exercise, any right provided under’ the FMLA. See 29 U.S.C. § 2615 (a)(1).”
