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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Appellant submitted a letter supplementing his court-appointed attorney’s brief and raising numerous purported errors generally based upon his belief that he was the persecuted victim of a conspiracy by the court, the prosecuting attorney and his own court-appointed legal advisor. The record discloses these fears to be wholly unfounded. Judge Larson and the Assistant United States Attorney demonstrated uncommon restraint in the face of appellant’s unorthodox trial “tactics”, and appellant’s court-appointed legal advisor commendably served appellant’s legal interests in spite of appellant’s insistence that he represent himself. United States v. Olsen, supra, 487 F.2d at 83 .”
