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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “[s]ince his application for appointment of counsel was denied, plaintiff is ‘entitled to an opportunity to offer proof’ unless ‘it appears “beyond doubt that the plaintiff can prove no set of facts in support of his claim which would entitle him to relief.” ’ Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519, 520-21 [ 92 S.Ct. 594, 595, 596 , 30 L.Ed.2d 652 ] (1972). See also Estelle v. Gamble, 429 U.S. 97 [ 97 S.Ct. 285 , 50 L.Ed.2d 251 ] (1976); Chapman v. Kleindienst, 507 F.2d 1246 , 1248-49 n.2 (7th Cir. 1974). Here, plaintiff was not only denied counsel, but also was not informed that he could answer documents filed in support of the defendants’ motion for summary judgment with his own documents, including affidavits.”
