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

1. “A material fact to the issue of a denial of due process would be that plaintiff could not file suit prior to the expiration of the limitation period. Plaintiff’s minority does not create an issue as argued by plaintiff____ Unlike the 90-day old infant in Tafoya v. Doe, 100 N.M. 328 , 670 P.2d 582 (Ct.App.1983), there are no facts in the record to show that plaintiff, employed since the age of fourteen, was unable to file suit. (Tafoya involved giving notice for purposes of the Tort Claims Act; however, it is analogous because notice was jurisdictional and would have defeated the infant’s claim.) Application of the limitation period does not deprive plaintiff of his right of action without due process.”
