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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“* * * Accordingly, the appraisements herein were invalid and void, and the liquidation of the entries was premature and a nullity, in view of the absence of a legal appraisement. It follows that the protests filed herein were likewise premature. We, therefore, dismiss the protests in accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C., section 2636 (d), and remand the matters to a single judge to determine the proper dutiable values of the flashlights and batteries in the manner prescribed by law.”
