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 65 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Ind. Rules of Procedure, Trial Rule 56(C) states that summary judgment is appropriate only when ‘there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law.’ ‘A fact is material if it tends to facilitate resolution of any of the issues either for or against the party having the burden of persuasion on that issue.’ Brandon v. State, (1976) 264 Ind. 177, 180 , 340 N.E.2d 756, 758 . See also Goethals v. DeVos, (1977) Ind.App., 366 N.E.2d 673 . ‘However, despite conflicting facts and inferences on some elements of a claim, summary judgment may be proper where there is no dispute or conflict regarding a fact that is dispos-itive of the litigation;’ Hayes v. Second National Bank of Richmond, (1978) Ind. App., 375 N.E.2d 647, 650 (citations omitted). See also Letson v. Lowmaster, (1976) [168] Ind.App. [159], 341 N.E.2d 785 . In other words, a factual issue is ‘material’ if it bears on the ultimate resolution of relevant issues, while a factual issue is ‘genuine’ if it is not capable of being conclusively foreclosed by reference to undisputed facts.””
