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 38 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“by (i) delivering a copy of the summons to the individual personally; (ii) leaving a copy of the summons at the individual’s dwelling house or usual place of abode in the presence of a person of suitable age and discretion then residing therein; (iii) delivering, at the office of the process server, a copy of the summons to the individual’s spouse if the spouses reside together; (iv) delivering a copy of the summons to the individual’s agent authorized by appointment or by law to receive service of process; or (v) any form of mail or third-party commercial delivery addressed to the individual to be served and requiring a signed receipt and resulting in delivery to that individual.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“[L]ooking first to the language of the rule, where words are construed in accordance with their plain, ordinary, and commonly understood meaning. If possible,, we construe rules as a whole to give meaning to each word and phrase. We also consider the actual language, its connection with other clauses, and the words or expressions which obviously are by design omitted. In construing statutes and rules, the law is what is said, not what is unsaid, and the mention of one thing implies exclusion of another.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“[A] dismissal without prejudice may be final and appealable where the dismissal has the practical effect of terminating the litigation in the plaintiffs chosen forum. We have consistently held that where a statute of limitations has run, a dismissal of the entire action effectively forecloses litigation in the courts of this state. Thus, a dismissal without prejudice is appealable where a statute of limitations has run.”
