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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Just as the Fifth Circuit in Celebrezze v. Sparks, 342 F.2d at 288, held that Section 405(g) gave courts the power to provide for the payment of attorney's fees from past-due Title II benefits, ... the 1976 amendment to Title XVI incorporating section 405(g) into Title XVI gives district courts the implied authority to grant attorney's fees in SSI cases.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[S]ection 405(g) has been carried over into Title XVI and with that provision goes the implied and inherent power of the court set out in the Sparks case. Although modified to some extent in Title II by section 406(b), the vitality of Sparks has not been diminished in Title XVI litigation.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[a]bsent express statutory prohibition, the district court possesses the inherent power to withhold and certify for payment an attorney's fee from SSI benefits.”
