These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 48 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“An issue of fact is 'material' if, under the applicable substantive law, it might affect the outcome of the case. An issue of fact is 'genuine' if the record taken as a whole could lead a rational trier of fact to find for the nonmoving party.”

2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“[The] policies for monitoring the back hallway did not create a substantial risk of serious harm. The evidence shows that, although a detention officer was not permanently stationed on the back hallway, at least one was assigned as a rover with responsibility for monitoring the back hallway. In addition, a camera monitored the back hallway, and although it did not record, it provided a live stream that a detention officer monitored twenty-four hours a day.... The limited number of inmate-on-inmate assaults [during the preceding three-year period] indicates that the area was fairly secure already. Although placing a detention officer on the back hallway to monitor inmates may have improved the security at [the facility], [the warden’s] decision not to do so did not create a substantial risk of harm. Although assaults did occur throughout Holman, and some did involve weapons ... the evidence of inmate-on-inmate assault involving weapons does not indicate that inmates were “exposed to something even approaching the constant threat of violence.” Holman is a large institution ... hous[ing] between 830 and 990 inmates during the relevant time periodL] ... [T]he thirty-three incidents [in the whole facility] involving weapons, only four of which occurred on the back hallway, are hardly sufficient to demonstrate that Holman was a prison “where violence and terror reign.””
