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 98 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“a federal court may award habeas corpus relief with respect to a claim adjudicated on the merits in state court only if the adjudication resulted in an outcome that: (1) was “contrary to, or involved an unreasonable application of, clearly established Federal law, as determined by the Supreme Court of the United States”; or (2) was “based on an unreasonable determination of the facts in light of the evidence presented in the State court proceeding.””
8 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“As to the self-representation claim, the State’s Memorandum raised factual issues that required resolution before its arguments could be accepted. Miranda’s habeas petition asserted that he had asked the state trial court to allow him to represent himself at trial; his petition attached copies of pages from the brief submitted to the Appellate Division by his attorney, which stated that “defendant requested to represent himself.” The State’s Memorandum to the district court, however, arguing the merits of this habeas claim, stated that “petitioner did not request to proceed pro se at any time....” (State’s Memorandum at 14.) Issue seems to have been squarely joined. However, the district court adopted the reasons proffered in the State’s Memorandum without explanation. The court made no finding that there had been no such request by Miranda; nor did it make any statement that it relied on some other ground for dismissal that made findings on this question unnecessary.”
