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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “The trial court could have reasonably concluded that the injunction was necessary to prevent asset depletion, and protect the FDIC’s ability to perform its statutory functions. The record indicates that [appellant’s] activities are closely related to many issues in this case, and thus the trial court could have concluded that an injunction restraining [appellant] from transferring assets was necessary to avoid irreparable injury. In addition, the trial court could have reasonably determined that FDIC’s legal remedies were inadequate. While FDIC seeks damages, a damage award will only provide relief for past wrongs; in-junctive relief is necessary to protect against future harm.”
