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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“By filing the present appeal seeking review of frivolous issues, Appellant has caused this court to waste precious judicial resources.

We admonish Appellant for necessitating review of these claims and direct [his] attention to the many sincere appellants who seek review before this court.”
