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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he [state] district court never entered an order dismissing [his] appeal despite the mandatory language of [Kan. Sup. Ct. R. 5.051 (1997) ].... Deepening the mystery over the status of Mr. Brown’s appeal, the Kansas Supreme Court revised Rule 5.051 in 2005 such that the failure to file a timely docketing statement “shall be presumed to be an abandonment of the appeal and the district court may enter an order dismissing the appeal.” Kan. Sup.Ct. R. 5.051 (200[6] ed.) (emphasis added). It is not clear, as a matter of Kansas procedural law, whether Mr. Brown’s direct appeal is now governed by the old “deemed” abandoned language and mandatory dismissal, or the new “presumed” abandoned language and optional dismissal.”
