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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Entry of judgment by the trial court is the event which vests jurisdiction in this Court. Thus, an order may not properly be appealed until it is entered.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The record in the instant case contains a draft of the order allowing [the] defendants' motion for [a] directed verdict, but the order was never signed by the trial judge or filed with the clerk. Therefore, entry ha[d] not occurred and we [were] without jurisdiction to consider the merits of [the] appeal.”
