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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The failure of the affidavits in support of the motion to show the testimony, if any, to be expected from defendant or to state any facts tending to support the naked conclusion found in his counsel’s affidavit that ‘it is impossible to try this matter without the attendance of the defendant,’ [citations] the failure to show any effort to take defendant’s deposition or any excuse for not doing so (Beckman v. Waters, 161 Cal. 581, 588 [ 119 P. 922 ], the want of diligence in delaying the motion for continuance until the morning set for trial and the other facts above recited are sufficient to support the order denying a continuance.””
