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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We need not, however, decide this question at this time. Although the issue of appealability has not been raised, we believe it is controlling in this matter. TR. 60(C) reads, in part: ‘A ruling or order of the court denying or granting relief, in whole or in part, by motion under subdivision (B) of this rule shall be deemed a final judgment, and an appeal may be taken therefrom. * * *’ (our emphasis) In the instant case, relief has been neither granted nor denied by the trial court. Regardless of how we characterize appellee’s motion to set aside, the denial of appellants’ motion to dismiss is not an appealable order.””
