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.

2. “Id. Analysis Carter raises two points on appeal. In his first point, Carter argues that the trial court erred in denying his application for conditional release as moot because section 552.040 entitled him to a hearing. In his second point, Carter asserts that by denying his application as moot, the trial court failed to consider the factors set forth in section 552.040.12. We address the points together as both challenge the trial court's denial of Carter's application as moot.”
