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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “a decision above the guidelines appears warranted because your violation behavior involved the following aggravating factors: you have demonstrated a total disregard for your conditions of parole. Your irresponsibility is reflected in the fact that you accepted no less than forty (40) collect calls from convicted felons confined at Bureau of Prisons facilities at Danbury, Connecticut and Otisville, New York. This serious violation is in addition to the fact that you have also been in contact with person(s) under investigation. “Association" is violation of parole.”
