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 87 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) whether the defendant has asserted his innocence; (2) whether withdrawal would prejudice the government; (3) whether the defendant delayed in filing his motion, and, if so, the reason for the delay; (4) whether withdrawal would substantially inconvenience the court; (5) whether close assistance of counsel was available to the defendant; (6) whether the plea was knowing and voluntary; and (7) whether the withdrawal would waste judicial resources.”
10 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““The longstanding test for determining the validity of a guilty plea is ‘whether the plea represents a voluntary and intelligent choice among the alternative courses of action open to the defendant.’ ” Hill v. Lockhart, 474 U.S. 52, 56 , 106 S.Ct. 366, 369 , 88 L.Ed.2d 203 (1985) (quoting North Carolina v. Alford, 400 U.S. 25, 31 , 91 S.Ct. 160, 164 , 27 L.Ed.2d 162 (1970)). A guilty plea entered upon the advice of counsel is invalid if the plea was coerced, Osborn v. Shillinger, 997 F.2d 1324, 1327 (10th Cir.1993), or if the advice of defendant’s counsel was not within the range of competence demanded of attorneys in criminal cases, Hill v. Lockhart, 474 U.S. at 56 , 106 S.Ct. at 369 ; McMann v. Richardson, 397 U.S. 759, 771 , 90 S.Ct. 1441, 1449 , 25 L.Ed.2d 763 (1970).”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“held that a plea may be involuntary if the attorney “ ‘materially misinforms the defendant of the consequences of the plea,’” United States v. Rhodes, 913 F.2d 839, 843 (10th Cir.1990), cert. denied, 498 U.S. 1122 , 111 S.Ct. 1079 , 112 L.Ed.2d 1184 (1991) (quoting Laycock v. State of New Mexico, 880 F.2d 1184, 1186 (10th Cir.1989)).... In order to demonstrate prejudice, the defendant “must show that there is a reasonable probability that, but for counsel’s errors, he would not have pleaded guilty and would have insisted on going to trial.” Hill v. Lockhart, 474 U.S. 52, 59 , 106 S.Ct. 366, 370 , 88 L.Ed.2d 203 (1985); Laycock v. State of New Mexico, 880 F.2d 1184, 1187 (10th Cir.1989).”
