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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “In Elliott, the Supreme Court implied strongly that there exists a presumption in favor of preclusion, and that the party challenging the preclusive effect of an unreviewed state agency decision bears the heavy burden of showing that Congress intended to rebut the presumption. Indeed, Congress knows about federal preclusion law when it legislates, and absent a strong showing that it intended to override firmly entrenched preclusion law by enacting FLSA, this Court will give the ADIR’s findings collateral estoppel effect to the extent that an Alabama court would. Doing so furthers the principles of federalism, comity, efficiency, and repose underlying the collateral estoppel doctrine. Here, Jones has failed to offer up an argument about whether Congress intended FLSA to override federal preclusion law.”

2. “Thakkar has failed ... to show that Congress intended the FLSA’s administrative scheme to exempt FLSA claims from common law principles of preclusion. Absent a showing of Congressional intent to the contrary, the court concludes that the FLSA claims at issue in this case are not exempt from common law principles of preclusion.”
