These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 29 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“he shall be brought to trial within one hundred eighty (180) days after he shall have caused to be delivered to the prosecuting officer and the appropriate court of the prosecuting officer’s jurisdiction written notice of the place of this imprisonment and his request for a final disposition to be made of the indictment, information or complaint; provided, that for good cause shown in open court, the prisoner or his counsel being present, the court having jurisdiction of the matter may grant any necessary or reasonable continuance.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Burns v. State · State v. Hill“"[The] petitioner should not be charged with the responsibility of insuring that his captors have complied with provisions of the law when he has no control over their activities. By placing the burden of insuring compliance on the two states involved, the defendant is less likely to become `the victim of their contributory inaction.' People v. Esposito, 37 Misc.2d 386 , 201 N.Y.S.2d 83, 90 (Queens County Ct. 1960)." Nelms v. State, 532 S.W.2d 923 (Tenn.1976).”
