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 105 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[A]lthough the Appeals Council "declined to review" the decision of the ALJ, it reached its ruling after considering the case on the merits; examining the entire record, including the additional material; and concluding that the ALJ's decision was proper and that the additional material failed to "provide a basis for changing the hearing decision." For these reasons we consider on appeal both the ALJ's decision and the additional material submitted to the Appeals Council.”
