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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

The decision to grant or deny a petition to open a default judgment is within the sound discretion of the trial court, and we will not overturn that decision ‘absent a manifest abuse of discretion or error of law.’”
