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.

“A Rule 60(b)(6) motion should only be granted in exceptional circumstances. Moore v. Jacobs, 752 So.2d 1013, 1017 (Miss.1999). This action does not meet the exceptional circumstance requirement of the rule. This provision of the rule is a catch all provision to allow relief when equity demands. Use of Rule 60(b)(6) must be based on some reason other than the first five enumerated clauses of the rule. See Briney v. United States Fid. & Guar. Co., 714 So.2d 962, 966 (Miss.1998).”
