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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Parties to a partition action have the right to object to the referees’ partition report before the District Court. This : objection may be founded upon a material mistake of law or of fact[.] Because a partition action is an adversarial proceeding, the party who believes that the -referees’ report is deficient bears the burden of offering sufficient evidence to support her objection. If the referees’ report becomes a matter of legitimate dispute due to the. submission of sufficient evidence, the report then is subject to challenge in an evidentiary hearing. If the district court fails to hold an eviden-tiary hearing after a party submits sufficient evidence challenging the report, the court has denied that party due process of the law. An objection unsupported tby sufficient evidence does not entitle a party to an evidentiary hearing because that would frustrate the statute’s goal of providing a cheap and expeditious method of partition.”
