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.
“This Court has on occasion summarily affirmed a district court order when an appellant has failed to comply with the appellate rule. See, for example, Kelley v. Watson, 2003 WY 127, ¶ 4 , 77 P.3d 691, 692 (Wyo.2003); MTM v. State, 2001 WY 61 , ¶ 9, 26 P.3d 1035 , 1037 (Wyo.2001). In other cases, we have addressed the issues raised despite the lack of compliance. Burns v. State, 2011 WY 5, ¶ 7 , 246 P.3d 283, 285 (Wyo.2011); LS v. State [Johnson County Dep't of Family Servs.], 2006 WY 130 , ¶10 n. 2, 143 P.3d 918 , 922 n. 2 (Wyo.2006).”
