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

1. “(a) Correction of Sentence. (1) Illegal Sentence . The sentencing court shall correct an illegal sentence at any time and may correct a sentence imposed in an illegal manner within the time provided for reduction of sentence in Rule 35(b)(1). (2) Clear Error . After giving any notice it considers appropriate, the sentencing court may correct a sentence that resulted from arithmetical, technical, or other clear error. (b) Reduction of Sentence. (1) Time for Reduction . The sentencing court may reduce a sentence: (A) within 120 days after the court imposes sentence or revokes probation; or (B) within 120 days after the court receives the mandate issued upon affirmance of the judgment or dismissal of the appeal; or (C) within 120 days after the Supreme Court of the United States enters any order or judgment denying review of, or having the effect of upholding a judgment of conviction or probation revocation. (2) Motion for Reduction . On a party's motion or on its own, and with notice to the parties, the court may grant a sentence reduction. Changing a sentence from a sentence of incarceration to a grant of probation is a permissible sentence reduction. If the sentencing court grants a sentence reduction, it must state its reasons for the reduction in writing.”
