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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Subsection (A) gives the children's court the power to correct dispositions; Subsection (B) governs motions to modify or reconsider a judgment filed by the respondent. In these cases, the respondent is the child. Rule 10-230.1(B) makes no reference to motions filed by the State or to court invited-motions allowed under [former] Section 32A-2-23(F). If the rule is unambiguous, we give effect to its language and refrain from further interpretation. Based on the explicit language of Rule 10-230.1(B), the ninety-day limitation period applies only to child-initiated motions.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Whenever the children's court invites reconsideration setting out the conditions that must be met, the child is entitled to and believes that, if the conditions are met, reconsideration will occur. Child-initiated motions, on the other hand, create no special expectation that the disposition will be modified. Consequently, we hold that the ninety-day time limitation set out in Rule 10-230.1(B) is intended to apply only to child-initiated motions, as the language of the Rule indicates.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Motions initiated by the children's court or the State remain under the control of the children's court for `thirty days after entry, or for such further time as may be necessary to enable the court to rule on a motion filed during those thirty days. '”
