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 134 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“must be brought, if at all, within seven days of judgment regardless of when the defendant becomes aware of the facts which suggested to h[im] that h[is] attorney's performance may have been constitutionally inadequate.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“In Dunnigan, the district court had stated: The court finds that the defendant was untruthful at trial with respect to material matters in this case.[B]y virtue of her failure to give truthful testimony on material matters that were designed to substantially affect the outcome of the case, the court concludes that the false testimony at trial warrants an upward adjustment by two levels.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[I]n responding to a jury’s request for clarification on a charge, the district court’s duty is simply to respond to the jury’s apparent source of confusion fairly and accurately without creating prejudice. The particular words chosen, like the decision whether to issue any clarification at all, are left to the sound discretion of the district court.”
