These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Riviera Beach Volunteer Fire Company responded to the appeal of Plotkins, Inc. with a motion to dismiss, in addition to argument on the merits. The motion points out that the appeal was filed more than 30 days after entry of the judgment appealed from, although within 30 days after entry of final judgments in the other cases, after the motion for new trial was denied. The Fire Company argues that the cases were separate, even though consolidated, and that Maryland Rule 605a did not defer the time for appeal until all claims in the case had been adjudicated. It relies upon Coppage v. Resolute Insurance Co., 264 Md. 261 , 285 A.2d 626 (1972). The relation of the consolidated cases here, sharing common questions of law and fact, was similar to that involved in Leach v. Citizens Bank of Md., 17 Md.App. 391 , 302 A.2d 634 (1973), and was not analogous to Coppage . “Plotkins, Inc.’s appeal will be dismissed, not because it was filed late, but because the issue is moot.””
