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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Under § 1307(a) of the Code, a Chapter 13 debtor has the absolute right at any time to convert his Chapter 13 case to a case under Chapter 7. In the instant ease the debtors have exercised that right. Consequently, the case before us is a chapter 7 case and the Chapter 13 plan and the order confirming that plan are no longer in force. We therefore conclude that Beneficial is not entitled to an order enforcing the terms of the debtors’ plan or an order holding the debtor in contempt for failing to comply with the terms of that plan. The only relief which Beneficial may- seek is whatever remedies such a creditor may have in a case under Chapter 7.””
