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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“All three plaintiffs object to the district court’s denial of punitive damages.... The plaintiffs contend that the district court’s entry of a default judgment as to liability resulted in the conclusive establishment of actual malice as alleged in the plaintiffs’ complaint. We find this reliance upon the bare allegations in the complaint unpersuasive. A default judgment ... “is only conclusive as to liability and does not constitute an admission as to damages.” Meehan v. Snow, 494 F.Supp. 690, 698 (S.D.N.Y.1980), rev’d on other grounds, 652 F.2d 274 (2d Cir.1981).”
