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

1. “The mere sending of that notice does not trigger the state administrative machinery. Whether a recipient of notice decides to take advantage of those available state procedures is left completely to the discretion of that particular class member; the federal court plays no role in that decision. And whether or not the class member will receive retroactive benefits rests entirely with the State, its agencies, courts, and legislature, not with the federal court.”

2. “Any restrictions on whether class members may recover back benefits and how far back they may recover should not be a restraint on to whom the Commissioner should give notice. The purpose of the notice is not only to inform class members of procedures for pursuing back benefits, but to inform all class members of the nature and extent of their victory in this court.”
