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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The granting or denying of continuances is a matter within the sound discretion of the trial court, and such actions will be reviewed only where palpable abuse of discretion is demonstrated. This has been the rule from the earliest days in New Mexico. Territory v. Ortiz, 1 N.M. 5 (1852); Waldo, Hall & Co. v. Beckwith, 1 N.M. 182 (1857); Thomas v. McCormick, 1 N.M. 369 (1866); Beall v. Territory, 1 N.M. 507 , rev’d on other grounds, 83 U.S. (16 Wall.) 535 , 21 L.Ed. 292 (1871). The'same rule has consistently been applied down to modern times. State v. Tapia, 81 N.M. 365 , 467 P.2d 31 (1970); Tenorio v. Nolen, 80 N.M. 529 , 458 P.2d 604 (1969); Garrison v. Navajo Freight Lines, 74 N.M. 238 , 392 P.2d 580 (1964).””
