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

1. “(1) determine that the defendant is unlikely to prevail on appeal; (2) file a brief indicating that he scoured the record thoroughly, and referring to anything in the record that might arguably support the appeal; and (3) advise client of his right to file a pro se supplemental brief. The appellate court shall then make its own independent review of the record, in the manner followed in all other cases.”
