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.
“In reaching this conclusion, we have not lost sight of the serious allegations raised by the four unsecured creditors that the debtor and his father (Frank Mitán) are abusing the bankruptcy process. But at this point they are just that — allegations, which were raised principally at a hearing that Frank Mi-tan did not attend and about which he did not have notice. If they are true, the U.S. Trustee and the creditors ought to be able lo [sic ] establish their validity at a properly noticed hearing. And if they are true, the bankruptcy court may impose an appropriate sanction.”
