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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“To prevail on this claim, [Ramirez] bears the burden of proving both that the performance of his lawyer was deficient and that he suffered prejudice as a result of this deficient performance. Strickland v. Washington , 466 U.S. 668 , 687 (III), 104 S.Ct. 2052 , 80 LE2d [L.Ed.2d] 674 (1984). To demonstrate deficient performance, [Ramirez] must prove that his lawyer's failure ... was objectively unreasonable, considering all of the circumstances and in light of prevailing professional norms. And to show that prejudice resulted from this deficient performance, [Ramirez] must prove that there is a reasonable probability that, but for counsel's unprofessional errors, the result of the proceeding would have been different. A reasonable probability is a probability sufficient to undermine confidence in the outcome.”
