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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The granting of a continuance is a matter entirely within the discretion of the trial judge and not reviewable unless there is a clear abuse of discretion. Dupree v. Insurance Co., 92 N.C. 418 ; State v. Banks, 204 N.C. 233 , 167 S.E. 851 ; and State v. Murphy, 4 N.C. App. 457 , 167 S.E. 2d 8 . We think this rule is in accord with sound policy. In this day of crowded court calendars, Judges, with the aid of attorneys, should and must take steps to insure the smooth flow of cases.” Id., at 642.”
