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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Looking at the substance of the motion rather than its nomenclature, the filing was actually a motion to withdraw a guilty plea. His motion is thus untimely because it was filed after the term of court in which the plea was entered. Since [Whitley’s] only remedy for challenging his guilty plea is through the writ of habeas corpus, the trial court did not err by [denying] his motion. 2”
