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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““First, in order to dismiss an appellant’s claim due to his or her fugitive status, a connection must exist between the litigant’s fugitive status and the litigant’s appeal.” Moscona, 649 S.E.2d at 198 (citing Ortega-Rodriguez [v. United States], 507 U.S. [284,] 249 [ 113 S.Ct. 1199 , 122 L.Ed.2d 581 (1998) ]). “Second, before implementing such, a severe sanction, a court must ask ‘whether an alternative short of dismissal will render enforcement of the underlying judgment certain and remove the risk of prejudice to the fugitive’s adversary.’” Id. (quoting Matsumoto v. Matsumoto[, 171 N. J. 110] 792 A.2d 1222, 1233 (N.J.2002)). Third, the policy concerns underlying the fugitive dismissal rule must be present. Id.; see also Degen [v. United States], 517 U.S. [820,] 824-25 [ 116 S.Ct. 1777 , 135 L.Ed.2d 102 (1996) ] (explaining that courts employ the fugitive dismissal rule to encourage enforcement of court orders, discourage the use of judicial resources only when the court rules in the fugitive’s favor, avoid prejudice to the non-fugitive party, discourage flights from justice, and promote the efficient, dignified operation of the courts).”
