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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““As to defendant’s other contention, it is well settled that the removability of a case from a state to a federal court should be determined by the claim of the plaintiff as shown by the record at the time of filing the petition for removal, and that the amount sought in a counterclaim cannot be added to plaintiff’s prayer in order to supply the necessary jurisdiction. Gates v. Union Central Life Ins. Co., D.C.E.D.N.Y. 1944, 56 F.Supp. 149 ; * * * United Artists Corp. v. Ancore Amusement Corp. [D.C.] S.W.N.Y. 1950, 91 F.Supp. 132 . * * * “The fact that defendant might not be able to litigate his counterclaim in the City Court does not justify this Court in retaining jurisdiction over an action improperly removed. Gates v. Union Central Life Ins. Co., supra; United Artists Corp. v. Ancore Amusement Corp., supra.” (Emphasis supplied.)”
