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 112 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““This portion of the rule cannot be disregarded. The failure of the opposing , party to file affidavits, etc. will not by that fact alone render him liable to judgment. TR. 56(c); Walker v. Statzer (1972), 152 Ind.App. 544 , 284 N.E.2d 127 . On the other hand, where the materials filed by the moving party do establish the lack of any genuine issue of material fact, it is incumbent upon the opposing party to comply with the above-quoted requirement of TR. 56(E). If he does not do so and upon the basis of the materials before the court, the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law, summary judgment may be entered against him.” (Footnote omitted, original emphasis.)”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““[w]hen a motion for summary judgment is made and supported as provided in this rule, an adverse party may not rest upon the mere allegations or denials of his pleading, but his response, by affidavits or as otherwise provided in this rule, must set forth specific facts showing that there is a genuine issue for trial. If he does not so respond, summary judgment, if appropriate, shall be entered against him....” (Emphasis added).”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Our decisions construing T.R. 56 and its predecessor statute make it clear that the purpose of the summary judgment provi- ' sion is not to evade jury trials or [to] have the judge weigh the evidence to determine where the preponderance lies in advance of its being presented.”
