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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“After four (4) years of confinement Doctor received from the penitentiary records office a sentence computation data sheet which showed no accumulation of earned time but which inaccurately indicated he was eligible for earned time. A revised sentence computation data sheet, issued two (2) months later, correctly noted that he was ineligible for earned time. Doctor contends that the actions of corrections officials in designating him eligible for earned time and then withdrawing that designation amounted to a forfeiture of earned time without due process.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Adams v. Epps“No forfeiture of earned time was worked here, as no earned time was accumulated by petitioner. The trial judge noted that at most Doctor was mistakenly advised of eligibility for good time by officials of the Department of Corrections, an administrative or clerical error.”
