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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““The record on appeal of the proceedings in the trial court must affirmatively demonstrate that the trial court committed error, and if that record itself does not disclose any such alleged error, we cannot consider the issue. An appellant must affirmatively show from the record on appeal that an alleged error was in fact committed, and matters set forth in a party’s brief cannot substitute for the record itself. Stated differently, this court cannot reverse where no record is presented for review.””
