The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

“It is a distinction without a difference that habeas relief is unavailable to Pickens not because he is challenging the conditions of his confinement ... but rather because he is no longer incarcerated. In that regard DeWalt explicitly overruled Anderson ..., which had held that the Heck bar applied without regard to the fact that the claimant was no longer incarcerated and thus had no habeas relief available to him.”
