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

1. “On this appeal, .the Court of Appeals reversed the trial court (See Clarke v. Boysen, 264 F. 492 ; Id., 273 F. 923 ), and held: “From the filing of the lis pendens in compliance with the Wyoming statutes the land was subjected to the result of this suit, and all conveyances made after such filing were dominated by such result. The defendant mining company, after such filing, transferred the valuable portion of the land. Such transfers did not affect the legal title involved in the suit, but did seriously affect the possession and use of the land which are the valuable fruits of title. When the deed was due from it, under the decree, it did not tender such, and, if it had done so, it had theretofore deliberately disabled itself from delivering therewith that possession which was an essential to enjoyment of the land deeded, and had so complicated and embarrassed the situation as to necessarily involve appellant in further litigation before he could make his title of any practical value. Such conduct deprived the company of all right to any compensation until this situation was so altered that appellant could obtain the real benefits of title.” 264 F. pages 495, 496.”

2. ““That the decree of the trial court, denying leave to file the second supplemental petition, be reversed, for the sole purpose of permitting appellant an opportunity to recover any damages arising from deprivation of the property involved, which damages, if any, have arisen since the closing date of the accounting heretofore rendered, and that the amount, if any, of such damages, be considered in striking the balance provided for in the order of this court upon this appeal.””
