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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It was obvious that there was a basic difference between the two projects here under consideration; one was a condemnation for the creation of a road, the other for the establishment of a landfill. While it was obvious that the establishment of the road was useful in conjunction with the use of the landfill, it was also clear that the use of appellants’ property was segregable from that to which the property of their neighbor was being put____ In the instant case, the appellants’ land was used to construct a road and its use for that purpose is readily separated from the use of other properties utilized as a landfill. In United States v. Pope and Talbot, [ 293 F.2d 822 ], and United States v. 15.65 Acres of Land, [ 689 F.2d 1329 ], the cases were determined on the question of whether damages were capable of being separated. In those cases, the portion of the property owner’s land appropriated was put to the same use as the neighboring lands. This was not the case in the proceeding presently before us. The appropriation of appellants’ land for use as a road is clearly differentiated from the land taken for the purposes of use as a landfill, and the damages resulting from each are clearly separable.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“While an easement implies an interest in land, a license is merely a personal privilege to do some particular act or series of acts on land without possessing any estate or interest therein. In De Haro v. United States, 5 Wall. 599, 627 , 18 L.Ed. 681, 688 , Justice Davis spoke of the incidents of a license as follows: “It is an authority to do a lawful act, which, without it, would be unlawful, and while it remains unrevoked is a justification for the acts which it authorizes to be done. It ceases with the death of either party, and cannot be transferred or alienated by the licensee, because it is a personal matter, and is limited to the original parties to it.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““ Where part of tract taken. — The damages to be awarded where land, or any part of it, is taken is the fair market value of the part taken, but not less than the actual value of the part taken plus any severance or resulting damages to the remaining land by reason of the taking and of future use by the plaintiff of the part taken. The severance or resulting damages shall be diminished to the extent of the value of the special (particular) benefits to the remainder arising from the plaintiff’s future use of the part taken.””
