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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“'The first step is the entry of a default . When a party against whom affirmative relief is sought fails to plead or otherwise defend the action and that fact is made to appear by affidavit or otherwise, the clerk enters a default. [ Rule] 55(a). A judgment by default may then be entered.' ".... Thus, a party must first obtain an entry of default by the clerk or the trial court before he or she can obtain a default judgment from the trial court.”
