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.
“A due process claim related to collateral post-conviction proceedings, even if resolved in a petitioner’s favor, would not “result [in] ... release or a reduction in ... time to be served or in any other way affect his detention because we would not be reviewing any matter directly pertaining to his detention." Kirby, 794 F.2d at 247 . “Though the ultimate goal in” a case alleging postconviction error “is release from confinement, the result of habeas review of the specific issue [ ] ... is not in any way related to the confinement.” Id. at 248 . Accordingly, we have held repeatedly that "the scope of the writ [does not] reach this second tier of complaints about deficiencies in state post-conviction proceedings,” noting that “the writ is not the proper means" to challenge "collateral matters” as opposed to “the underlying state conviction giving rise to the prisoner’s incarceration." Id. at 248, 247 ; see also Alley v. Bell, 307 F.3d 380, 387 (6th Cir.2002) ("error committed during state post-conviction proceedings can not [sic] provide a basis for federal habeas relief” (citing Kirby, 794 F.2d at 247 )); Greer v. Mitchell, 264 F.3d 663, 681 (6th Cir.2001) ("habeas corpus cannot be used to mount challenges to a state’s scheme of post-conviction relief”).”
