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 51 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We have held that a district court where a defendant is tried has ancillary jurisdiction to decide a defendant’s post-trial motion for the return of seized property. See Mora v. United States, 955 F.2d 156 , 158 (2d Cir.1992). Where criminal proceedings are no longer pending against the defendant such motion is treated as a civil equitable proceeding even if styled as being pursuant to Fed.R.Crim.P. 41(e). United States v. Martinson, 809 F.2d 1364 , 1367 (9th Cir.1987).”
