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

1. “(1) Within 30 days from the date of notice in writing of any order made pursuant to section 242.10, clause (1), or section 242.19, or of any order terminating its control made pursuant to section 242.-27 after an examination as therein provided, any person who has been committed to the board after conviction of a felony or gross misdemeanor, may request the board in writing to conduct a hearing of record for the review of any such order. (2) If the board grants the request, it shall hold a full hearing of record, allowing the person opportunity to appear with counsel, and thereafter the board shall issue a final order affirming, modifying, or rescinding its prior order. (3) Upon application to the committing district court made by the person affected by the final order within 30 days from the date of written notice thereof, the committing district court only may review such final order. Such review shall be in like manner as though reviewed by certiorari, except that the trial shall be de novo upon the return of the board and such other evidence as may be received by the court. Nothing herein shall prohibit the board from making such investigation and orders to carry out the purposes of this chapter.”
