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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Because Abdur’Rahman raised these cumulative error'arguments for the first time on habeas review, we may not consider them here.... Under our own circuit’s precedent, however, cumulative error arguments must be raised separately in the state court and are subject to procedural default on habeas review. Abdur’Rahman failed to raise these cumulative error claims on direct appeal or during post-conviction relief in state court. Instead, he only raised a generalized cumulative error argument for the first time in his habeas petition. Because we are bound by this circuit’s prior precedents, Abdur’Rahman cannot raise either cumulative error argument here.”
