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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“This action is essentially an attachment (garnishment) proceeding, and the January 13 letter [indicating that ING Bank had sold Philguarantee’s participation interest in the FLIRBs on December 6, 1997] suggests that the thing Fidelity seeks to attach — Philguarantee’s interest in the FLIRBs — no longer exists, at least not within the ownership of Phil-guarantee .... If the Court determines that [Philguarantee’s] interest [in the FLIRBs] was sold on December 6, the entire controversy concerning Philguar-antee’s interest in the FLIRBs has become moot.”
