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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“the government must show that [a] defendant knowingly agreed with at least one other person to commit a crime, intending that the underlying offense be completed.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“We note that the Supreme Court has recently held that bankruptcy courts do not have “a general, equitable power ... to deny exemptions based on a debtor’s bad-faith conduct.” See Law v. Siegel, — U.S. —, 134 S.Ct. 1188, 1196 , 188 L.Ed.2d 146 (2014) (emphasis added). In Malley [v. Agin, 693 F.3d 28 (1st Cir.2012),] and the case it cites for the bad-faith principle, In re Hannigan, 409 F.3d 480 (1st Cir.2005), we affirmed bankruptcy court orders that had relied on the debtors’ bad faith to limit exemptions. See Malley, 693 F.3d at 30 (affirming surcharge against exempt property to offset fraudulent concealment of non-exempt property); In re Hannigan, 409 F.3d at 484 (affirming denial of amendment to homestead exemption as a sanction for bad faith). Although Law appears to overrule Malley and Hannigan to the extent they limited exemptions based on bad-faith conduct, the Supreme Court’s ruling does not restrict the bankruptcy court’s discretion concerning amendments unrelated to exemptions — as was the situation here.”
