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.

““We believe the issue before us is simple and none of the cases cited by either appellants or the state is controlling. We hold that once the appellate record is approved and filed in the appellate court and a motion to supplement that record is then made in the appellate court and the court denies the motion, the trial court does not thereafter have the authority to order the record supplemented.””
