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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“... the determinative issue here is not whether [appellant] ever received a copy of the Handbook Plan but rather whether the plan was in legal effect ... on the relevant date. [Appellant] offered nothing to show it was not. He did not submit evidence of some alternative plan, allegedly in effect ..., which might confer dismissal benefits in his case. Rath er, he relied exclusively on a brief Pamphlet excerpt whose terms complement rather than contradict the Handbook Plan.”
