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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “While apparently the court clerk did not send Plaintiff notice of the [judgment,] Defendants’ attorney did and it was received by Plaintiff ... at a time when the trial court still retained jurisdiction over the matter for fifteen days. Any failure of the court clerk in mailing the [judgment] to Plaintiff does not automatically affect its validity.... Plaintiff has not established prejudice. Furthermore, even if Rule 74.03 were the applicable rule, Plaintiff has not shown good reason or excuse nor good cause to have the [judgment] set aside.”
