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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“When by these rules or by a notice given thereunder or by order of the court an act is required or allowed to be done at or within a specified time, this court for cause shown may at any time in its discretion . . . upon motion made after the expiration of the specified period, permit the act to be done where the failure to act was the result of excusable neglect. Motions for extensions of time to file documents must be made in accordance with Appellate Rule 37(b).”
