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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “Such review shall be limited solely to a review of the legal sufficiency of the recall ground or grounds and the legal sufficiency of the alleged fact or facts upon which such ground or grounds are based as set forth in such recall application; and the review of such alleged fact or facts shall be only for the determination of the legal sufficiency of such alleged fact or facts as to form and not as to truth and shall not include discovery or evidentiary hearings. [Emphasis supplied.]”

2. “[An allegation] states with adequate particularity acts or omissions that may constitute grounds for recall, [where] it is specific enough — in the context of the controversy — to inform the public and the [public officer] of the substance of the complaint. While [an allegation] may not qualify as “perfect” pleading, our law requires no such perfection.”
