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.
“An appellate court will not interfere with a trial court’s discretionary rulings absent a clear abuse of discretion. Semler v. Semler, 924 P.2d 422, 424 (Wyo.1996). This general rule applies to decisions on motions to set aside a bond forfeiture. “[T]he decision to grant or deny a remission is a discretionary one that will only be overturned on appeal for a patent abuse of discretion amounting to arbitrary and capricious action.” Application of Allied Fidelity Ins. Co., 664 P.2d 1322, 1325 (Wyo.1983). Assessing whether there has been an abuse of discretion involves determining whether the evidence was sufficient to support the district court’s decision. Basolo v. Basolo, 907 P.2d 348, 353 (Wyo.1995). One factor in that assessment is whether the district court’s “conclusions [were] drawn from objective criteria.” Mintle v. Mintle, 764 P.2d 255, 257 (Wyo.1988) (quoting Martin v. State, 720 P.2d 894, 897 (Wyo.1986)). The burden is upon the appellant to show an abuse of discretion. Blake v. State, 933 P.2d 474, 477 (Wyo.1997). ⅜ ⅜ ⅜ ⅜”
