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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“T9 Defendant pled guilty to one count of aggravated robbery in 1997. Defendant asks us to review the denial of his motion to withdraw, which he filed ten years later. This is far beyond the statutory window for filing a motion to withdraw a guilty plea, and we agree with the district court's determination that it lacked jurisdiction to consider it. T10 Defendant apparently argues that when the district court resentenced him under rule 22(e) of the Utah Rules of Criminal Procedure, the thirty-day period for Defendant to withdraw his 1997 guilty plea somehow restarted. Rule 22(e) explains that a "court may correct an illegal sentence, or a sentence imposed in an illegal manner, at any time.”
