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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[e]ssentially ignored [Pub. Safety § 3-108(d)(5) ] requirements as he enhanced the hearing board's recommended penalty ..., [the sheriff failed] to review the hearing board's findings in a timely fashion, within the thirty-day window prescribed by statute ..., [the sheriff] neither asked [the deputy] to concur in postponing the mandated meeting nor requested that he waive the time limits set forth in [Pub. Safety § 3-108(d)(1) ] ..., and [the sheriff] failed to disclose and provide to [the deputy] in writing at least ten days prior to the meeting any oral or written communication not included in the hearing board record on which the decision to consider increasing the penalty is based.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“could not have cured the defects under the LEOBR that the court below failed to recognize or were otherwise beyond repair . Instead, the passing of time and the Sheriff's failure to place on the record all information that should have been there closed the window of opportunity for enhancing [the deputy's] penalty.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“the passing of time and the [s]heriff's failure to place on the record all information [mandated] closed the window ... for enhancing [the deputy's] penalty ... [Thus, the] penalty enhancements were instated outside the clear boundaries of the law and cannot stand.”
