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 33 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A defendant against whom a default has been entered is out of court and is not entitled to take any further steps in the cause affecting plaintiff’s right of action; he cannot thereafter, until such default is set aside in a proper proceeding, file pleadings or move for a new trial, or demand notice of subsequent proceedings. (Title Ins. Co. v. King Land Co., supra; Christerson v. French, 180 Cal. 523 [ 182 Pac. 27 ]; Lunnun v. Morris, 7 Cal. App. 710 [ 95 Pac. 907 ]; Green v. Rogers, 18 Cal. App. 572 [ 123 Pac. 974 ].) If the judgment were vacated it would be the duty of the court immediately to render another judgment of like effect, and the defendants, still being in default, could not be heard in opposition thereto. (Title Ins. Co. v. King Land Co., supra.)” (See, also, Bunt, Mirk & Co., Inc., v. Hesperides Min. Co., 200 Cal. 382 [ 253 Pac. 317 ].)”
