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 78 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Where direct review is available in the state's highest court, failure to seek such review constitutes a procedural default even if review was afforded in the state's lower courts.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“A procedural default is not “independent” if, for example, the state procedural bar depends upon an antecedent determination of federal law. Similarly, the procedural default is not “adequate” if the state courts themselves bypass the petitioner’s default and consider his claims on the merits, if the procedural rule appears to be discretionary, or, ordinarily, if the state fails to assert an interest in compliance with its procedural rules in the petitioner’s federal habeas proceedings.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“by showing either that no state remedies are available or that the state supreme court has been presented with a fair opportunity to rule on the merits of the claim.”
