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 86 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Continuity is both a closed- and open-ended concept, referring either to a closed period of repeated conduct, or to past conduct that by its nature projects into the future with a threat of repetition. It is, in either case, centrally a temporal concept-and particularly so in the RICO context, where what must be continuous, RICO's predicate acts or offenses, and the relationship these predicates must bear one to another, are distinct requirements.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“actually a closed-ended series of predicate acts constituting a single scheme . . . to accomplish a discrete goal [approval of the subdivision] directed at a finite group of individuals [Mr. Duran] 'with no potential to extend to other persons or entities.'”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[w]e will not review [the appendix to brief] because it was not before the district court when the various rulings were made”
