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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““As a general rule, the filing of an amended petition omitting an individual as a party defendant has the effect of dismissing such party just as effectively as if an order had been entered to that effect. (Citations)” “The filing of an amended petition is to add something or to withdraw something from that which has been previously pleaded, and an amended pleading supplants the instrument amended and takes the place of such amended instrument. (Citations)””
