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 36 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A lower court is bound by the mandate of a federal appellate court as the law of the case and, generally, it is without power to reconsider issues decided on a previous appeal, [citation omitted] However, the issue must actually have been decided ‘either expressly or by necessary implication on that appeal.’ [citation omitted] The mere fact that it could have been decided is not sufficient to foreclose the issue on remand. ‘The doctrine unlike res judicata does not apply to points not decided on a previous appeal, even though they could have been.’”
