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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Section 39, sub. c, as amended, of the Bankruptcy Act, 11 U.S.C. Sec. 67, sub. c (1958), providing for district court review of the orders of referees in bankruptcy, places no restriction on the kinds of orders subject to review. District courts therefore have jurisdiction to review interlocutory orders although they may, in the exercise of discretion, decline to do so. Accordingly, while district courts usually discourage the review of orders which deal with preliminary procedural matters, acceptance by the district court of such a review is not ground for reversal in this court. See 8 Remington on Bankruptcy, 6th ed., Sec. 3405, p. 296; 2 Collier on Bankruptcy, 14th ed., Sec. 39.21, pp. 1499-1501; Hunt, Appeals in Bankruptcy Cases (1937), 10 So. Cal.L.Rev. 296, 304.”
