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

1. ““* * * The jurisdiction of the court under this lunacy statute is a continuing one, and all proceedings, judgments and orders thereunder ‘are of a continuing character, and open to change and modification on application of any party in interest in the court having original jurisdiction.’ In re Rainbolt, 64 Colo. 581 , 172 Pac. 1068 . We also held in that case, referring to the order reserving jurisdiction, ‘that other orders (than the approval and commitment orders) might become necessary and accordingly (the trial court) left the proceedings open; and whether the court did so or not, the case at all times would have been open for further action by the court to meet any exigency.’ ””

2. “The undisputed facts, and as we have found them to be clearly show that the defendant did not have the kind of a hearing which she is entitled to under the statute. The guardian ad litem did nothing whatever to protect her rights. He attempted to waive them before he had ever seen or conversed with her, or knew her condition.”
