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 61 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The State, by urging this Court to construe the time prescription set forth in § 46-21-102, MCA, as a limit on district courts’ subject matter jurisdiction, asserts that a petitioner may dictate a court’s subject matter jurisdiction on the timeliness of his petition. The Supreme Court has described subject matter jurisdiction, however, as authority that “cannot be expanded to account for the parties’ litigation conduct . . . .” The State fails to identify a provision in either the Montana Constitution or the Montana Code that allows this Court to hinge a district court’s “power” to entertain a post-conviction petition on the timeliness of the petition.”
