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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In New York and in many other states the motion in the nature of coram nobis was recognized as a common-law remedy but, as other statutory remedies were made available, the scope of coram nobis became correspondingly more limited. So too the modern judicial expansion of the writ of habeas corpus under the influence and pressure of the United States Supreme Court has further narrowed the area within which the remedy of coram nobis is employed or required. * * * The rule is now generally recognized that coram nobis is not available when there is any other remedy.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“'revest the court with jurisdiction in an extreme emergency and permit inquiry into the important question of whether the judgment of conviction should be vacated because the defendant was unknowingly deprived of a defense which would have probably disproved his guilt and prevented his conviction, and if that probability be established to grant the defendant a new trial of the accusation . 31 Am. Jur., Judgments, 812 ; 24 C.J.S., Criminal Law, § 1606.'”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“" We have recognized the power and jurisdiction of trial courts, in rare and extraordinary cases, to re-examine by coram nobis the validity of judicial processes which have resulted in convictions long since imposed . We do not propose to open the gates to a flood of litigation which will clog the dockets of the courts, as has resulted from our extension of the scope of habeas corpus."”
