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.
“Harris’s new trial motion was filed on October 16, 1995, and under Rule 2, the motion was deemed denied thirty days later, on November 15, 1995. Accordingly, Harris had thirty days within which to file his appeal which date ended on December 15, 1995. Instead, he waited until January 2, 1996, to file his notice of appeal. Although the trial court belatedly denied Harris’s new trial motion on December 5th, it had no jurisdiction to do so. In conclusion, we mention the State’s suggestion that Harris could correct his failure to file a timely appeal by seeking permission to file a belated appeal. While a belated appeal is certainly permissible under Rule 2(e) of the court’s appellate procedure for criminal cases, we point out that, to date, no such application and affidavit required under Rule 2(e) have been made by Harris, and this case has now been submitted to this court for decision.”
