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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“No appeal will lie from an order granting a partial summary judgment because such an order is not a final order under Rule 54(b), W.R.C.P. [Citations] The Notice of Appeal to the Supreme Court filed on April 15, 1977, therefore was premature and ineffective. [Citation] "In the Notice of Appeal filed May 26, 1977 Appellant specifically designated certain parts of the Judgment entered May 5, 1977 which he appealed from in accordance with Rule 73(b), W.R.C.P. No mention was made of the Order granting the partial summary judgment entered March 22, 1977, nor was it referred to in any way. Although the Order granting the partial summary judgment became final and appealable upon entry of the Judgment on May 5, 1977, the Notice of Appeal filed May 26, 1977 was not sufficient to present any claim of error arising out of the Order granting the partial summary judgment. [Citations] "IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the appeal from the Order granting the partial summary judgment, No. 4829 in this Court, be, and it hereby is, dismissed because of lack of jurisdiction in this Court.”
