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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We are unable to accept appellant’s contention that the trial court erred in acting summarily under Super.Ct.Cr. Rule 42(a) to hold him in contempt for the reason that his actions, if contemptuous, were not committed in the presence of the court. The identical contention has been advanced and rejected on several occasions, In re Gates, 156 U.S.App.D.C. 88 , 478 F.2d 998 (1973); In re Niblack, 155 U.S.App.D.C. 174 , 476 F.2d 930 (1973), and is similarly rejected here. . . . [In re Nesbitt, D.C.App., 313 A.2d 576 at 578 .]”
