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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “"(1) The court may, on its own motion or on the motion of the defendant, enter a judgment denying a meritless petition brought under ORS 138.510 to 138.680. "(2) As used in this section, 'meritless petition' means one that, when liberally construed, fails to state a claim upon which post-conviction relief may be granted. "(3) Notwithstanding ORS 138.650, a judgment dismissing a meritless petition is not appealable. "(4) A dismissal is without prejudice if a meritless petition is dismissed without a hearing and the petitioner was not represented by counsel."”
