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.

1. “Creditors or other parties in interest, 11 U.S.C. § 1121 (c), have two means by which they can reduce the- debtor’s exclusive period to file a plan. The most direct route is to file an application with the court to reduce either the 120 or 180 day exclusive periods. 11 U.S.C. § 1121(d). Grounds for a reduction of the exclusive period are not itemized but the statute’s command that it be for “cause” almost surely includes a measurement of the degree of creditor resistance to any proposed plan as well as any unreasonable delay in proposing a plan. A second and more acute method of obtaining a reduction of the debtor’s exclusive plan period is to have a trustee appointed, for immediately upon appointment of a trustee the debtor’s exclusive period to file a plan expires, and from that time forward the debtor or any other party in interest may file a plan. 11 U.S.C. § 1121 (c)(1). (emphasis added).”
