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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Under Rule 35 a sentencing court may only correct an illegal sentence, correct a sentence imposed in an illegal manner, or reduce a sentence. Bryan's original sentence was not illegal or imposed in an illegal manner. The second sentence did not reduce the original sentence; it increased the punishment. Therefore, the trial judge's attempt to change Bryan's original sentence violates the provisions of Rule 35. As we said in State v. Rueb, 249 N.W.2d 506, 511 (N.D. 1976): ` The change or modification of a sentence is permitted in North Dakota now, but only pursuant to Rule 35, NDRCrimP. `" State v. Bryan, 316 N.W.2d 335, 337-338 (N.D.1982). [Emphasis added.]”
