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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Logan argues that “the act complained of which caused him an injury ... is a conspiracy among the governmental Defendants.” But the “conspiracy matters only” with respect to defendant Barber, a private actor, because the other defendants “are state actors, and thus amenable to suit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 , by virtue of their offices.””
