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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) that an issue in a prior action was identical to the issue litigated in the present action; (2) that the issue was actually litigated in the prior action; (3) that resolution of the issue was necessary to the prior judgment; and (4) that the same parties are involved in the two actions.”
6 later decisions quote this exact passage“"I question whether the elements of collateral estoppel are present as a defense for Biles and Wilkins-Bankester. While the order granting a new trial in the [first action] was appealable, I question whether it constitutes a `prior judgment' sufficient to estop Sullivan in [the second] action. Moreover, neither Biles nor Wilkins-Bankester was a party to the [first] action. Thus, no judgment in that action could collaterally estop Sullivan from suing them in [the second action]."”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“must review the *Page 521 record in a light most favorable to the nonmovant and must resolve all reasonable doubts against the movant.”
