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.

“[A] fundamental tenet of the res judicata doctrine is that it precludes relitigation between the same parties not only of claims that were raised in the initial proceeding, but also of those relevant claims that could have been raised then.”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage“Francine Pouncy” throughout the Appellee’s brief. Francine signed a release form allowing DNA tests to be performed as “Francine Pouncy.” Francine’s driver's license states that her name is “Francine Pounce.” Francine signed her November 1993 sworn affidavit as “Francine Pouncé.” We refer to her as Francine. . The sequence of events leading up to CSED determining that Irvin owed $146 per month in support is uncertain. A 1988 Notice and Finding of Financial Responsibility stated that Irvin owed $292 per month in ongoing support and $146 per month toward his accrued debt. A 1996 Notice of Proposed Adjustment in Child Support stated that: "CSED proposes an adjustment in the child support amount, in accordance with the child support guidelines, to: $146 for 1 child.” . We refer to the appellee throughout this opinion as CSED. . Justice Matthews dissented. Although Calhoun had brought two Rule' 60(b) motions, Justice Matthews concluded that res judicata is inapplicable to • direct attacks upon a judgment. He stated: “I believe that the majority has erred in basing today's opinion on the doctrine of res judicata. The doctrine of res judicata relates to the effects of a judgment in a subsequent separate lawsuit.... Res judicata has no application to a direct, as opposed to collateral, attack on a judgment.”
