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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he only remaining question in applying the principles set forth above is that of inordinate delay____ The indefinite postponement was granted on March 30, but Parker was not arrested until mid-May____ Little more than two months passed between Parker’s second arrest and the new trial date. As a matter of law, we hold that the delay in this case between the time the defendant was arrested after his failure to appear for the initial trial date and the time of his ultimate trial date was not inordinate. We need not remand the case for a hearing on this issue, as we have upheld longer delays in previous cases. See Rosenbach, supra (characterizing 78-day delay as insufficient to meet Rosenbach’s burden of showing inordinate delay); State v. Bonev, 299 Md. 79 , 472 A.2d 476 (1984) (delay in excess of three months not a clear abuse of discretion); State v. Frazier, supra (no inordinate delay where delays ranged from slightly under three months to almost four months).”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Parker contends that the Rosenbach analysis does not apply in this case and that the prosecutor had an obligation to go to the administrative judge when it became clear that the case could not be tried within the 180-day limit. In Parker’s words, “[i]f the combination of when the failure to appear occurred and the length of time it takes to correct it is such that the prosecutor cannot try the case within the 180 day limit, then the prosecutor must go to the Administrative judge, explain the circumstances, and ask permission to exceed the 180 day limit.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Whether a postponement is for good cause has nothing to do with whether the postponing judge delegates the assignment of a new trial date to an assignment office, or with the length of time from postponement to actual trial. The critical postponement under the statute and rule is the one which, in fact, carries the case beyond the 180-day limit. Whether the delay from postponement to trial is inordinate is a question separate from whether the postponement was for good cause.”
