Most-quoted passages

These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 49 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“even if the motion in the case at hand were captioned a motion to 'modify' but was in fact an attempt to relitigate the original injunction, we would not have jurisdiction over it.”

Appeal of New Jersey State Nurses Association · New Jersey State Nurses Ass'n v. Treacy“[A]lthough [the district court] considered the question of liability, the court never considered whether a district court had the authority, in an opinion issued on January 14, to order as a remedy payment of January benefits. Because this presents an important and substantially different question from that decided in the order of January 14, 1982, we therefore hold that the order of June 1, 1982, is appealable under 28 U.S.C. Section 1292(a)(1) and that we therefore have jurisdiction with respect to it.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Godinez v. Lane“payment of state funds, not as a necessary consequence of compliance in the future with a substantive federal-question determination, but as a form of compensation ... measured in terms of a monetary loss resulting from a past breach of a legal duty on the part of the defendant state officials.”
