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

2. “[t]he requirement of Maness that a defendant denied counsel to assist in the fifing of an appeal must demonstrate that there was error on the trial was held inconsistent with the federally protected right of an indigent defendant to counsel at all critical stages of a criminal proceeding in Maness v. Swenson, 8 th Cir., 385 F.2d 948 . See Rodriquez v. United States, 395 U.S. 327 , 89 S.Ct. 1715 , 23 L.Ed.2d 340 .”

3. “[ijnasmuch as a motion for new trial is a basic step in the process of perfecting an appeal in this state, Supreme Court Rules 27.20 and 28.02, V.A.M.R., there can be no doubt that the rule applied in Maness and Rodriquez extends to that stage of the proceeding.”
