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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Given that choses in action are amenable to execution under rule 69(F), it follows that a defendant can purchase claims, ie., choses in action, pending against itself and then move to dismiss those claims.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[after claims have been sold, a new party steps into the shoes of the former plaintiff, and the claims remain cognizable, but the sale cuts off the former plaintiff's right to pursue those claims. Once acquired by another, the new litigant has the right to determine the course and seope of the litigation of the claims purchased, including the right to move to dismiss the pending claims.”
