The case is:

White v. Harris, 23 F. Supp. 2d 611 (D. Md. 1998)

U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland - 23 F. Supp. 2d 611 (D. Md. 1998)

October 9, 1998

Concurring Opinion: Some times, a judges or judges will agree with the majority's holding, but will express different reasoning for his/her/their decision. This section is usually much shorter and should be about two sentences long stated along the same guidelines listed in the section above. Dissenting Opinion: Often, a judge or judges will disagree with the majority's opinion. As a result they express a different line of reasoning. Follow the same guidelines as those listed in the two sections above; your paragraph will most likely be shorter than the court's reasoning and longer than the concurring opinion.Opinion/Reasoning: This may be the most difficult part of writing a case brief as the reasoning in the court's opinion will often go "back and forth" and refer to other cases throughout making it a bit laborious to cut through all of the dicta. It is your job to distill the reasoning down to a summary that fully explains the court's decision, but in short form. This section should be about a paragraph long and in your own words. However, you may very well find it necessary to quote the court which is perfectly appropriate as long as it is placed in quotes and you express an understanding of the reasoning in your own words
