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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A JNOV motion is “essentially a renewal of a motion for directed verdict,” Smith v. Price, 74 N.C. App. 413, 418 , 328 S.E.2d 810, 815 (1985), aff’d in part, rev’d in part on other grounds, 315 N.C. 523 , 340 S.E.2d 408 (1986), and thus must be preceded by a motion for directed verdict at the close of all evidence. See Whitaker v. Earnhardt, 289 N.C. 260, 264 , 221 S.E.2d 316, 319 (1976). On appeal, we apply the same standard of review as that for a directed verdict. See Northern Nat’l Life Ins. Co. v. Miller Machine Co., 311 N.C. 62, 69 , 316 S.E.2d 256, 261 (1984). Notably, “[t]he movant cannot assert grounds [for the JNOV] not included in [his] motion for directed verdict.” Love v. Pressley, 34 N.C. App. 503, 509 , 239 S.E.2d 574, 580 , cert. denied, 294 N.C. 441 , 241 S.E.2d 843 (1978).”
