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

3 later decisions quote this exact passage“"(a) Dismissal of Appeal. (1) An appeal shall be dismissed if the notice of appeal was not timely filed to invoke the jurisdiction of the appellate court. "* * * "(b) Suspension of Rules. ... provided, however, an appellate court may not extend the time for taking an appeal, as provided in Rule 4(a)(1); ..." (Emphasis supplied.)

Therefore, because of a lack of case law and analysis of Rule 12.3(f) and Rule 13(d) of the Alabama Temporary Rules of Criminal Procedure, and because it is clear that these rules were modeled on Rule 59.1 of the Alabama Rules of Civil Procedure, it would be proper for this court to look to case law regarding this civil rule in construing these two criminal rules.”
