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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“absent a serious procedural error, a violation of a principle of law, or a clear and grave abuse of discretion.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Jlk v. Mab · Womack v. Swan“1. In what manner did the contempt happen, that is, did the contemmor refuse to do an affirmative act or did the contem-nor do that which he was ordered not to do; 2. what was the substance of the proceeding; 83. what kind of punishment was imposed; and 4. for what reasons did the court impose that kind of punishment.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“We distinguish between criminal contempt and civil contempt by determining the purpose of the contempt order. Anderson v. Anderson, 667 P.2d 660, 662 (Wyo.1983); Horn v. District Court, Ninth Judicial District, 647 P.2d 1368, 1372-73 (Wyo.1982). The purpose of a civil contempt is to coerce a party into complying with a prior court order, while the purpose of a criminal contempt is to punish a party who failed to comply with a prior order. GN v. State (In re C.N.), 816 P.2d 1282, 1285 (Wyo.1991); Horn, 647 P.2d at 1373 . In other words: “If the penalty is intended to operate in a prospective manner so as to bring about compliance with an order of the court, then it relates to civil contempt. If, however, the penalty is unconditional and imposed to vindicate a prior transgression against the court, then criminal contempt is involved.” Anderson, 667 P.2d at 662 (citing Shillitani v. United States, 384 U.S. 364, 370 , 86 S.Ct. 1531 , 16 L.Ed.2d 622 (1966)).”
