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

1. “[a]dministrative appeals exist only under statutory authority, without which the court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over the appeal. . . . The court's essential function in such an appeal is to review the administrative proceedings to determine whether the action appealed from was legal. . . . The scope of judicial review under the UAPA is very restricted. . . . Except in the limited situation in which there is an allegation of procedural illegalities not shown in the record . . . that review is limited to the record and the court cannot hear evidence.”
