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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[The excusable neglect standard can be met only in extraordinary cases where injustice would otherwise result. The appellate court normally accords great deference to the district court's ruling. * * * Because of the wide array of factual situations, the decisions one finds are useful more as illustrations of the judicial problem rather than as a talisman to interpreting "excusable neglect." In the final analysis, each case stands on its own facts since the district court's exercise of discretion is at the heart of the case.”
