How courts have described this case

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

  • ejusdem generis does not apply when Congress connects the general term and the specific examples with the phrase “including but not limited to”
  • “The Government must prove four elements to meet the definition of a ‘playground.’”
  • “[W]e need not apply ejusdem generis because Congress modified its list of examples with the phrase ‘including, but not limited to.’ That phrase mitigates the sometimes unfortunate results of rigid application of the ejusdem generis rule.”
