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

A person convicted of a noncapital felony in this state whether within the Criminal Code [NMSA 1978, § 30-1-1] or the Controlled Substances Act [NMSA 1978, § 30-31-1] or not who has incurred one prior felony conviction that was part of a separate transaction or occurrence or conditional discharge under Section 31-20-13[of] NMSA 1978 is a habitual offender and his basic sentence shall be increased by one year. D. As used in this section, “prior felony conviction” means: (1) a conviction, when less than ten years have passed prior to the instant felony conviction since the person completed serving his sentence or period of probation or parole for the prior felony, whichever is later, for a prior felony committed within New Mexico whether within the Criminal Code or not, but not including a conviction for a felony pursuant to the provisions of Section 66—8—102[of] NMSA 1978[.]”
