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 138 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

18 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Rule 16(a)(1)(C) 'triggers the government's disclosure obligation only with respect to documents within the federal government's actual possession, custody, or control.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“The government has a conditional right to appeal a suppression order, but the exercise of that right may result in a disruptive effect on the criminal trial process, therefore harboring a potential for abuse. As a result, the government’s right to appeal pretrial suppression orders must be balanced with a defendant’s right to proceed to trial on the indictment. This can best be accomplished * * * by retaining jurisdiction in the district court to dismiss the indictment in appropriate cases.”
