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.

1. “(1) express statutorily prescribed preconditions of the particularized OMMA 'return' provision, ORS 475.323(2), were not satisfied here; and (2) the omnibus 'evidence return' provisions-and, specifically, ORS 133.643-do not authorize return of items whose possession would be unlawful under either state or federal law.”

2. “[p]reemption principles are implicated only if defendant is, in fact, entitled under operative Oregon statutes to return of the marijuana. That is, if, as a matter of Oregon law, defendant has no such entitlement, the matter is concluded and preemption is inapposite.”
