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 37 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is well settled that the matter of granting a new trial on after-discovered evidence rests in the sound judicial discretion of the trial court, and an order refusing a new trial on that ground will not be disturbed on appeal, in the absence of a plain abuse of discretion. Wulf-sohn v. Russo-Asiatic Bank, 9 Cir., 11 F.2d 715 ; Streckfus Steamers, Inc. v. Shuttleworth, 4 Cir., 86 F.2d 327 ; Morton Butler Timber Co. v. United States, 6 Cir., 91 F.2d 884 ; Weiss v. United States, 5 Cir., 122 F.2d 675 . And it is equally well settled that an application for new trial based upon that ground is not regarded with favor and will be granted with great caution. Bonness v. United States, 9 Cir., 20 F.2d 754 ; Weiss v. United States, supra; * * [ 139 F.2d 654 .]”
