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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““The verified motion filed herein for publication of said summons contained no statement that Sine was a nonresident of the state, that she had departed the state without intention of returning, or that she concealed herself to avoid service of process. It was recited in the motion that defendant Sine’s whereabouts were unknown, but there was no statement that she ‘cannot be served by personal service in the state.’ In the absence of this mandatory requirement, the motion was fatally defective and the court was without jurisdiction to proceed. The judgment and decree were consequently void and of no force or effect, and the deed a nullity. Empire Ranch & Cattle Co. v. Coldren, 51 Colo. 115 , 117 Pac. 1005 ; Millage v. Richards, 52 Colo. 512 , 122 Pac. 788 ; Federal Farm Mortgage Corp. v. Schmidt, 109 Colo. 467 , 126 P. (2d) 1036 .””
