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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Here, the defendant fails to pass the first step of the Dillon test . . . . [because] defendant's sentence of 276 months was imposed pursuant to a binding plea agreement with the government, under Fed. R. Crim. P. 11(e)(1)(C) (sic), and was not a sentence 'based on a sentencing range that has subsequently been lowered by the Sentencing Commission . . . .' 18 U.S.C. § 3582 (c)(2).”
