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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The Municipal Court’s sentencing order imposed restitution on Bonamarte only if the State requested it within sixty days of the order and the court held a hearing on costs. The State requested restitution within sixty days and noted that Bonamarte could request a hearing. Bonamarte appealed his conviction, however, two days before the State had requested restitution and before the Municipal Court could hold the required hearing. The fact that Bonamarte’s sentence was pending at the time of his appeal to the District Court prevented Bonamarte from appealing a “final judgment of conviction” under § 46-20-104, MCA. Thus, Bonamarte’s appeal to the District Court was premature, and the District Court had no jurisdiction to consider the appeal.”
