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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The majority says the motion was “timely ... presented to the court.” What the majority does not make clear is that this statement is based only on an unsigned and unidentified handwritten notation on the last page of the said motion “Presented to Judge 10-15-85. No Date set on hearing.” Who made such notation is not shown by the record and it is not supported elsewhere in the record. This Court is not informed what “presentation” meant to the individual making the notation, be he or she a legal secretary, law clerk, “gofer,” attorney, clerk or whoever. Nor are the circumstances under which the motion was “presented” revealed. 32”
