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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“While Colorado Mortgage Alliance and Centennial Leasing and Sales may have initially furnished Mr. Smith the application forms and otherwise facilitated his loans, neither Colorado Mortgage Alliance nor Centennial Leasing and Sales ultimately loaned him the money from which a loss occurred due to Mr. Smith’s fraudulent conduct. Therefore, the government was not required to provide evidence showing Colorado Mortgage Alliance and Centennial Leasing and Sales were “FDIC-insured” or “financial institutions.” Accordingly, even if considered on appeal, Mr. Smith’s pro se argument is frivolous.”
