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.
“Some debtors file successive bankruptcy cases to prevent secured creditors from foreclosing on their collateral. [The change to the automatic stay] remedies this problem by terminating the automatic stay in cases filed by an individual debtor ... if his or her prior case was dismissed within the preceding year.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“if a single or joint case of the debtor was pending within the preceding 1-year period but was dismissed,”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“property exempted ... is not liable during or after the case for any [pre-petition] debt of the debtor.”
