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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]he reasoning behind the rule is that a timely petition for rehearing suspends the finality of the judgment pending that court’s further determination on whether the judgment should be modified .... A similar analysis was used in Sitko v. Rowe, 195 Wash. 81 , 79 P.2d 688 (1938), where the court held that the time for a notice of appeal does not begin to run until the entry of an order denying the motion for a new trial. It would serve no purpose to require appellants to file a notice of appeal while a motion for reconsideration or new trial was pending in the court below.”
