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

1. “The purpose of recording a lis pendens is to give notice of the pendency of an action concerning real property to persons who may subsequently seek to acquire rights in that property. King v. W.R. Hall Transportation & Storage Co., 641 P.2d 916 (Colo.1982). [[Image here]] The modern provision found in C.R.C.P. 105(f) is designed to give a party to a lawsuit sufficient time either to file a notice of appeal or to record a transcript of judgment in the county in which the affected land is situated. However, we find no indication that the new rule was intended to extend the constructive notice provided by a lis pendens beyond the thirty-day period. If the mere existence of the recorded lis pendens was sufficient to provide constructive notice of the terms of the judgment concluding the litigation the provisions of C.R.C.P. 105(f) concerning the effect of the lis pendens would be rendered meaningless.”
