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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The relief granted to a plaintiff in a case in which there is no answer, cannot exceed that which he demands in his complaint. It is not sufficient that he states facts sufficient to entitle him to the relief; he must also ask for it. . . . The complaint must ask for a judgment for the deficiency, if any shall exist after the sale, ... in order to authorize the court to render such a judgment.” Simonson v. Blake, 12 Abb. Pr. 331 ; 2 Jones, Mortgages (5th ed.), § 1475; Parrott v. Den, 34 Cal. 79 ; Lamping v. Hyatt, 27 Cal. 99 .”
