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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“when plaintiffs choose to bring suit in a district that is not at or near their place of residence, the “convenience to plaintiff[s] of litigating in [their] choice of forum is not as great as it would be were [they] litigating at or near [their] residence, [their] principal place of business, or the site of the activities at issue in the lawsuit.” Thus, the Shutte rule has “less of an impact in those cases where the plaintiff selects a forum which is connected neither with the plaintiff or [sic] the subject matter of the lawsuit.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage“there is no authority in this circuit for the proposition that the burden to transfer a federal securities case is somehow higher than the burden in other types of civil actions. The Court is of the view that 28 U.S.C. § 1404 (a) applies in the same form to all types of civil actions; further, Congress could have, but did not, carve out a securities law exception to § 1404(a).”
