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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Any issue raised by facts occurring after the appealed judgment is not reviewable on appeal because the determinative facts do not appear in the record. Such an issue must be raised by application to the trial court, which has original fact-finding jurisdiction. Once the issue is decided by the court of original jurisdiction, this court can review that decision under our appellate jurisdiction, perhaps by consolidation with the original appeal, or under our supervisory jurisdiction, if justification is shown in an application for supervisory writs.”
