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

1. ““First, Md. R. [4-263(a)(2) ] is concerned only with the subjects specified in parts [(A), (B), and (C)]. Second, Md. R. [4-263(g)] limits that which is discoverable under Md. R. [4-263(a)(2) ] to ‘material and information in the possession or control of [the State’s Attorney, of] members of his stall and of any others who have participated in the investigation or evaluation of the case and who either regularly report or with reference to the particular case have reported to his office.’ Third, the information must be relevant. This is the same limitation which courts traditionally apply and which turns on the legal issues under the facts and circumstances of the case.””
