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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. ““Post-conviction relief proceedings are civil in nature and are governed by the North Dakota Rules of Civil Procedure.” Waslaski v. State, 2013 ND 56, ¶ 7 , 828 N.W.2d 787 . “[P]ost-conviction applicants are not entitled to a free transcript for an appeal, and the district court has discretion in deciding an indigent applicant’s request for a transcript.” Klose v. State, 2008 ND 143, ¶25 , 752 N.W.2d 192 ; see also Owens v. State, 1998 ND 106, ¶ 33 , 578 N.W.2d 542 (“[A] trial court does not abuse its discretion in refusing an indigent applicant’s request for a trial transcript unless the inmate shows a particularized need, necessity or justification for its preparation and use.”).”
