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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “The State is authorized to appeal from a pre-trial order granting a motion to sup press evidence by HRS § 641-13(7) (Supp. 1988). In State v. Johnson, 50 Haw. 525 , 445 P.2d 36 (1968), the supreme court held that Revised Laws of Hawai'i (RLH) 1955 § 212-2, which is now § 641-13, must be strictly construed.... We hold that the same rule of strict construction applies to the Rule 4(b) HRAP requirement that the State must file its notice of appeal within 30 days of the entry of the judgment or order appealed from. The State can only appeal from a written order or judgment filed with the clerk. Absent a written order of suppression, the State’s notice of appeal in this case did not give rise to appellate jurisdiction. [Citation omitted.]”
