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

1. “The motion court clearly erred by denying as untimely filed appellant’s motion for postconviction relief pursuant to Missouri Supreme Court Rule 24.035 because the absolute filing deadline imposed by Rule 24.035 operated to deny appellant due process of law as guaranteed by the Fourteenth amendment to the United States Constitution and Article I, Sections 10 and 14 of the Missouri Constitution in that the absolute filing deadline arbitrarily denied appellant relief because the rule makes no provision for late filing of a postconviction relief motion for good cause shown, and Rule 24.035 provides the exclusive means for a person under detention pursuant to guilty plea judgments in Missouri to attack the constitutionality of that detention as guaranteed by the right to habeas corpus pursuant to Article I, Section 12 of the Missouri Constitution.”
