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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The pending petition was filed pursuant to § 4(h) of the Federal Alcohol Administration Act, 49 Stat. 977 , 27 U.S.C.A. § 204 (h), to review and set aside an order of the District Supervisor, First District, of the Alcohol Tax Unit, Bureau of Internal Revenue, Treasury Department, dated December 29, 1943, denying petitioner’s application for a basic permit. “Under § 4(f) of the Act, orders denying such applications shall be served (1) in person by a designated officer or employee, or “(2) by mailing the order by registered mail, addressed to the applicant * * * at his last known address in the records of the Administrator.” Section 4(h) provides that a petition for review of such order may be filed in the appropriate Circuit Court of appeals “within sixty days after the entry of such order.” The crucial phrase “entry of such order” is not defined in the Act. It has reference to official action of an administrative officer, who is not required either by the Act or by applicable regulations to keep a docket book or other comparable record. Therefore, little help is afforded by decisions defining what constitutes the “entry” of a judgment under statutes regulating appeals from judgments of a court.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority““Without undertaking to give a comprehensive interpretation of the statutory phrase “entry of such order”, it suffices for this case to hold that the order of denial has at least been entered, within the meaning of § 4(h), when it has been signed and placed in respondent’s files as a completed act, and the copy of the order, forwarded to the applicant by registered mail pursuant to § 4(f), has actually been received by the applicant. Whether anything less would amount to an entry of the order it is not necessary now to decide.””
