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

1. “After considering the evidence and oral arguments, the circuit court granted the defendants' motion. The circuit court, in light of the stipulation reached between the parties, then ordered the case dismissed with prejudice. Jackson appeals from the circuit court's judgment. DISCUSSION The sole issue on appeal is whether the circuit court abused its discretion by holding that Dr. Modlin was not qualified to testify as an expert on the standard of care.”
