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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“even if [Clark] were able to present some evidence showing that his attorney had failed to file an appeal on his behalf, such a failure would not amount to ineffective assistance of counsel because it is apparent from the transcript óf the plea hearing that the issues he now seeks to raise in an out-of-time appeal are completely without merit. An attorney’s failure to file an appeal frivolously attacking the indisputable facts proved by the transcript could not be deemed ineffectiveness.”
