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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) the allegations (regarding Blake’s alleged misconduct in California and his false statement to New York authorities) are sustained by virtue of the decision by the California Board of Medical Quality Assurance (Ex. 8) and the application for registration in New York (Exs. 3 and 9). The decision by BMQA is dispositive here by virtue of the operation of Collateral Estoppel as expressed by the admission of Respondent’s Counsel that they concede that they can not collaterally attack action by another state (T. 41). (2) the finding with regard ... to Respondent’s failure to note in his application for registration that his license had been revoked is based upon the fact that the Respondent’s claimed lack of knowledge of BMQA’s decision and the intermediate proceedings leading up to the revocation was the result of the Respondent’s own acts to avoid receipt of any notice of hearing or decision. His departure from California without leaving any notice of change of address to BMQA or even to his attorney can not now be used by him to claim no knowledge of the various proceedings that took place in California.”
