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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““If the appellant seeks an appeal from the judgment of his convictions and sentences, Md. Rule 1012 requires that the order of appeal be filed within thirty days from the date of the judgment appealed from. Although the appellant filed a timely appeal he dismissed it and the subsequent ‘Motion for Appeal’ of 8 July was filed too late. There is no provision in the Maryland Rules or elsewhere authorizing the lower court to extend the time within which an order of appeal to this Court shall be filed. Cornwell v. State, 1 Md. App. 576 . Nor did the filing of a motion for a new trial after conviction and sentence extend the time for filing an appeal. McCoy v. Warden, 1 Md. App. 108 , quoting Colter v. State, supra, at 191-192 citing Hayes v. State, 141 Md. 280, 282 . See Brown v. State, 237 Md. 492 . As the appeal here was not filed within the time required, it is dismissed. [Footnote omitted.] Md. Rule 1035 §§ a 2 and b (2).” 6 Md. App. at 406-07 , 251 A. 2d at 256 .”
