Do not use an ellipsis to denote the omission of a citation or footnote.
Instead, use “citation omitted” or “footnote omitted” in a parenthetical.
When quoting only part of a statute, rule, etc., use “in part,” e.g.,
ORS 305.440 provides, in part, “If no appeal is taken to the Supreme
Court, the decision of the court shall constitute a final determination of the
matter.”
2.
Block Omission
Use five asterisks to indicate omission of a block of text such as paragraphs
or sections, but not to indicate an omission of additional material after an ending
paragraph, e.g.,
OAR 635-005-0180 provides, in part:
“It is unlawful for commercial purposes to take, land, or
possess sea urchins:
“* * * * *
“(3) Without first obtaining a permit * * *.”
NOTE: If the original has additional text, it is not necessary to add three asterisks
following the period.
