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.
“The Lyons Court ... recognized that if Lyons had instead alleged that future injury was imminent because of an authorized policy — not just a random act by a minority of officers — his allegations would have properly invoked federal jurisdiction. Plaintiffs’ averments in this case meet that standard enunciated by the Lyons Court in that they allege future injury is imminent because of a policy or custom either acquiesced in or authorized by the City Defendants.”
