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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Where the initial pleading is indeterminate, absent fraud by the plaintiff or pleadings that provide “no clue” that the case is not “not removable,” the burden is on the defendants desiring removal to scrutinize the case and to remove it in a timely fashion. The rule is not unduly harsh on the defendants. In effect, the defendants are put on inquiry notice by the plaintiffs initial pleading and must inquire of the plaintiff the jurisdictional facts necessary to the petition to remove. It is a burden that rightly rests on the defendants because they are the ones who seek access to a court of limited jurisdiction.”
