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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“" * * * that if the court shall fail to rule upon such motion within thirty [30] days after the filing thereof, such failure to rule shall be deemed a denial thereof; * * *””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Insofar as the provisions [of Section 39-1-1, then codified as NMSA 1953, Section 21-9-1] that failure by the court to rule on a motion within 30 days shall be deemed a denial thereof, application is limited to motions filed within 30 days after entry of final judgments and decrees and during which period the court retains control thereof. This is clearly stated when in the section reference is made to “motions which may have been filed within such period, directed against such judgment.” (Emphasis added) In this connection we note that § 21-9-1, N.M.S.A.1953, specifically provides that it “shall not be construed to amend, change, alter or repeal, the provisions of sections 4227 or 4230, Code 1915.” These sections are now incorporated into our rule 60(b) (§ 21-l-l(60)(b), N.M.S.A.1953) which provides that motions thereunder may be made within a reasonable time, with a one-year limitation as to some of the grounds therein specified. Although in the instant case the motion was filed within 30 days, it stands to reason that the 30-day limitation for the court to rule has no application.”
