The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

“Claims that are defaulted in state court on adequate and independent state procedural grounds will not be considered by a habeas court, unless the petitioner can demonstrate cause and prejudice or a fundamental miscarriage of justice. A state procedural default is ‘independent’ if it relies on state law, rather than federal law. A state procedural default is ‘adequate’ if it is firmly established and regularly followed.”
