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.
“[Appellants] knew that if the motion were granted, the appeal would be dismissed. They made no contention that in the event the court considered the motion well taken, the court’s order should be to dismiss the appeal and to remand the case to the trial court with instructions to dismiss the complaint.”
