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 57 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Although the term “assignment” was used in parts of the documentation, the parties treated the transaction as the routine granting of a security interest.... [We] conclude that [the borrower] owned the funds from the check subject to the security interest of the Bank.... Because the funds belonged to [the borrower] subject to [the bank’s] security interest, the debtors could not have embezzled the funds and the debt is not nondischargeable under section 523(a)(4). 882 F.2d at 304-05.”
