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

  1. “[T]he district court did not rule upon whether a COA is warranted, and “the lack of a ruling on a COA in the district court causes this court to be without jurisdiction to consider the appeal.” Whitehead v. Johnson, 157 F.3d 384 , 388 (5th Cir.1998); see also Brewer v. Quarterman, 475 F.3d 253 , 255 (5th Cir.2006) (per curiam) (“A district court must deny the COA before a petitioner can request one from this court. A request for COA must be filed in the district court before such a request can be made in the circuit court.” (internal quotation marks omitted)); Miller v. Dretke, 404 F.3d 908 , 912 (5th Cir.2005) (“Under Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 22(b)(1), the district court must first decide whether to grant a COA request before one can be requested here.”); Sonnier v. Johnson, 161 F.3d 941 , 946 (5th Cir.1998) (“[T]he lack of a ruling on a COA in the district court causes this court to be without jurisdiction to consider the appeal.”); United States v. Youngblood, 116 F.3d 1113 , 1115 (5th Cir.1997) (“Under Muniz [v. Johnson, 114 F.3d 43 , 45 (5th Cir.1997) ], jurisdiction is not vested in this Court because the district court has not yet considered whether [a] COA should issue.”); Muniz, 114 F.3d at 45 (“A district court must deny the COA before a petitioner can request one from this court.”).”
