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.

1. “Franklin urges this court to overturn State v. Winkle, 159 Wn. App. 323, 330 , 245 P.3d 249 (2011), in which the Court of Appeals held that former RCW 9.94A.729(5)(a) (2010) allowed the trial court to impose a term of community custody in lieu of earned release. The plain meaning of the relevant statutes support Franklin’s contention that RCW 9.94A.701 and RCW 9.94A.702 — not RCW 9.94A.729 — govern the trial court’s imposition of community custody at the time of sentencing.”
