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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Plaintiff-appellant first suggests that, since the directed verdict was sustained, the consideration of testimony put in by plaintiff before the motion was made should have every reasonable inference flowing from it and that all conflicts in the evidence should be disregarded, the action of the court resting solely upon the substantial evidence supporting plaintiff’s cause of action. Plaintiff cites In re Garcia’s Estate, 45 N.M. 8 , 107 P.2d 866 ; Morrison v. First National Bank, 28 N.M. 129 , 207 P. 62 ; Sanchez v. Torres, 35 N.M. 383 , 298 P. 408 ; Jackson v. Gallegos, 38 N.M. 211 , 30 P.2d 719 ; Pankey v. Hot Springs National Bank, 46 N.M. 10 , 119 P.2d 636 . “We agree with plaintiff’s statement as to the consideration of testimony required when ruling upon a motion for directed verdict.””
