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.

1. “Defendants move for amended and supplemental findings pursuant to Fed. R.Civ.P. 52(b). They request 78 specific amendments. In issuing its findings and conclusions the court undertook a careful evaluation of the trial testimony and other evidence. The court need not make findings on all disputed facts. Rather; the findings should provide a, reviewing court a clear understanding of the basis for the trial court’s decision and the grounds on which it was reached. See, e.g., Cross v. Pasley, 267 F.2d 824, 826 (8th Cir.1959); see generally 9 Wright & Miller, Federal Practice and Procedure: Civil § 2579. The finding and conclusions are very thorough and more than adequate in that regard. Defendants’ proposed amendments and supplements attempt a wholesale revision of the findings and conclusions to make them more favorable to defendants. That is not a proper basis for a Rule 52 motion.”
