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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The defendant (the Secretary of Health and Human Services) shall have sixty (60) days from service of process to answer the complaint and to file the transcripts of the administrative proceedings____” . 42 U.S.C. § 405 (g) requires that "[a]s part of his answer the Secretary shall file a certified copy of the transcript of the record including the evidence upon which the findings and decision complained of are based.” . Although plaintiffs attorney states in the motion that he is filing as attorney for the Secretary, we understand that this is a clerical error. . Fed.R.Civ.P. 55(e) provides: “No judgment by default shall be entered against the United States or an officer or agency thereof unless the claimant establishes his claim or right to relief by evidence satisfactory to the court.”
