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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“This argument flies in the face of numerous Seventh Circuit cases noting the existence of a § 1983 claim for both false arrest and false imprisonment. See Terket v. Lund, 623 F.2d 29, 31 (7th Cir.1980) (“[c]onstrued liberally, [plaintiffl’s § 1983 complaint alleges a deprivation of liberty without due process through unlawful arrest, false imprisonment, and malicious prosecution”); see also Schertz v. Waupaca County, 875 F.2d 578, 582 (7th Cir.1989) (“the existence of probable cause for arrest is an absolute bar to a Section 1983 claim for unlawful arrest, false imprisonment, or malicious prosecution”); Mark v. Furay, 769 F.2d 1266, 1269 (7th Cir.1985) (same). Unsupported assertions of law are seldom persuasive, and [defendant’s bald conclusion in this area is no exception.”
