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 56 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Secondly, although defendant fails to specify under what provision of the Penal Code he now contends the motion was made, we infer from his argument and citation of authorities that he contends that it was a motion to dismiss in furtherance of justice under Penal Code, section 1385. [Fn. omitted.] The record does not support a contention that such a motion was made. In any event, it is clear from a reading of said section 1385 that it does not confer upon the defendant the privilege of moving to dismiss in the furtherance of justice. [Citation.] ... Additionally, defendant's contention that the minute order must be construed as an order of dismissal under Penal Code, section 1385, is untenable for the reason that said section requires that: `[t]he reasons of the dismissal must be set forth in an order entered upon the minutes.' The minute order here involved is devoid of any statement of the `reasons of the dismissal.'”
