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.
“[Mississippi Rules of Appellate Procedure] Rule 31(b) mandates that a brief be filed within forty days of the filing of the record in the circuit court. Rule 31(a) provides that the clerk’s failure to provide notice of the receipt of the record or a party’s failure to receive such notice does not excuse an untimely filed brief.... No brief was ever filed by Thomas[,] nor was a motion for extension or enlargement of time. Accordingly, we find that the time for filing a brief began to run when the circuit clerk filed the record, and we reject Thomas’s contentions that the filing of a brief is not mandatory, and that the time to file a brief did not begin to run.”
