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.
“The plaintiff argues on appeal that when the defendants responded to the original petition by making a “special appearance,” they waived the defenses of improper venue and of failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. The terms of 12 O.S. Supp.1984 § 2012(A) do provide that the filing of “an appearance” within the twenty-day period after service of process extends the time to respond and operates as a waiver of certain challenges. This statute, though, applies only to a defendant’s general or perhaps to an unspecified appearance, not to one that is explicitly qualified. The defendants were not hence precluded by law from, either objecting to venue or questioning the sufficiency of the allegations to state a claim for relief. (Emphasis added)(footnotes omitted).”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“"... within twenty (20) days after the service of the summons and petition upon him, a defendant may file an appearance which shall extend the time to respond twenty (20) days from the last date for answering. The filing of such an appearance waives defenses of paragraphs 2 [personal jurisdiction], 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9 of subsection B of this section.””
