How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • “[I]t is a disservice to judges and a misunderstanding of the judicial process to wrench general language in an opinion out of context.”
  • “[F]ederal jurisdiction is (with immaterial exceptions) determined as of the date the complaint is filed.”
  • “It is not enough that he claims to have been injured by the defendant’s conduct. The alleged injury must be legally and judicially cognizable.”
  • under Illinois law, “in the absence of a stay, a sale of real property to a third party bars an appeal from the judg‐ ment authorizing the sale”
  • “But in the absence of any indication of prejudice to the Craddieths or their third-party buyer-lender, the motion [for intervention] cannot be adjudged untimely as a matter of law.”
  • “The point is not that to establish standing a plaintiff must' establish that a right has been infringed; that would conflate the issue of standing with the merits of the suit. It is that he must have a colorable claim to such a right.”
