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 187 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[Restricted access to the law library is not per se denial of access to the courts. United States v. Evans, 542 F.2d 805 (10th Cir.1976). Nor do either Younger v. Gilmore, 404 U.S. 15 , 92 S.Ct. 250 , 30 L.Ed.2d 142 (1971) or Johnson v. Avery, 393 U.S. 483 , 89 S.Ct. 747 , 21 L.Ed.2d 718 (1969) equate access to the courts with the adequacy of a prison law library. The prison library is but one factor in the totality of all factors bearing on the inmates’ access to the courts which should be considered. Hampton v. Schauer, 361 F.Supp. 641 (D.Colo.1973). s¡< }H # # * * It has also been held that prison regulations which reasonably limit the times, places, and manner in which inmates may engage in legal research and preparation of legel papers do not transgress the constitutionally protected rights so long as the regulations do not frustrate access to the courts. Gittlemacker v. Prasse, 428 F.2d 1 (3d Cir.1970); see also Frazier v. Ward, 426 F.Supp. 1354 (N.D.N.Y.977).”
