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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Dr. Mitchell argues that the hospital interfered with his employment relationship with the professional corporation of which he is the sole shareholder. We reject this argument because we believe that the relationship between an individual and his wholly owned professional corporation is not an employment relationship that Congress intended to protect under Title VII.... Gomez ... upon which Dr. Mitchell relies, is clearly distinguishable. Gomez involved a corporation that employed a number of doctors who rendered medical services as part of the corporation's group medical practice.... In contrast, Dr. Mitchell is both the sole shareholder and the sole employee of his professional corporation.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Consequently, there must be some connection with an employment relationship for Title VII protections to apply.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Dr. Mitchell alleges that all radiology services were provided at the Hospital, and that at least some of the equipment used was provided by the Hospital. Moreover, and perhaps more important, Dr. Mitchell alleges that his agreement with the Hospital provided that he would treat Hospital patients; he does not allege that he used the Hospital facilities to treat his own patients. In addition, Dr. Mitchell alleges that his agreement with the Hospital provided that he would receive in compensation for his services forty percent of the gross billings of the radiology department during the time the agreement was in effect____ [TJhe fact that Dr. Mitchell was paid by the Hospital rather than by the patients he treated may very well support his position.”
