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.
“[w]hile the issue here is not an omission, the concept is the same-the estate has no interest in property the debtor has no interest in, and thus the inclusion does not materially relate to the bankruptcy case. Moreover, intent to defraud in a Chapter 7 case through claiming to own more property is difficult to fathom.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“if a plaintiff alleges omissions from bankruptcy schedules, it is senseless to speak of the time and place of the misrepresentations, or the manner in which the statements misled the plaintiff, or what the debtor gained as a result of the misrepresentations.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“what he is alleged to have done, what property is at issue, what documents are in play, and what is at stake.”
