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 41 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Where it is clear that a conviction that is being reversed did not cause a district court to impose a harsher sentence on a conviction that is being affirmed, remand for re-sentencing is not necessary.... We cannot conclude that the attempt count led the district court to impose a harsher sentence on the conspiracy count. Therefore, we do not remand for resentencing, but adjust the special assessment to $100 for Thomas and $100 for Davis.”
