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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Section 1306 incorporates all of § 541 into the definition of estate property in the Chapter 13 case, including those exceptions detailed in subsection (b). And because § 541(b)(7) expressly excludes voluntary retirement contributions from the bankruptcy estate, there is no need for § 1306 to contain a duplicative provision excepting such contributions. The exception becomes applicable with the wholesale incorporation of § 541.”
