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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[sic] only if at least one-eighth (1/8) of the aggregate external boundaries of the territory coincides with the boundaries of the annexing municipality.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[6] The annexation of land by municipalities is governed by [Indiana Code Section] 36^-3-l to [Indiana Code Section] 36-4-3-22. City of Muncie v. Lowe, 705 N.E.2d 528, 530 (Ind.Ct.App.1999), trans. denied. Generally, the annexation process formally begins when a municipality adopts an ordinance annexing territory pursuant to either [Indiana Code Section] 36-4-3-3 or [Indiana Code Section] 36-4-3-4. Id. The legislative adoption of the ordinance is followed by an opportunity for remonstrance by affected landowners and judicial review. City of Hobart v. Chidester, 596 N.E.2d 1374, 1375 (Ind.1992). A remonstrance abates the culmination of the annexation pending a review by the courts and places upon the municipality the burden of sustaining the annexation in the courts as provided by statute. City of Indianapolis v. Wynn, 239 Ind. 567, 576 , 157 N.E.2d 828, 833 (1959). At the remonstrance hearing, the burden is on the municipality to demonstrate its compliance with the annexation statutes. In re Matter of Annexation Ordinance No. X-07-91 (Blackhawk Annexation), 645 N.E.2d 650, 652 (Ind.Ct.App.1995), trans. denied.”
