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 34 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The word ‘shall’ is used both for setting the time when appellant shall file his brief and also for setting out the penalty for failure to file appellant’s brief as required. Under the mandatory requirements of Rule 12, this court is required to grant the motion to dismiss or, in the alternative, to read the word ‘thirty,’ as it appears in the rule, to be the word ‘thirty-one.’ This we do not have authority to do. It follows that the appeal must be dismissed, or the case affirmed.””
