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 38 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The courts have had occasion to discuss the stage of the pleadings at which such a motion might be maintained. Mr. Holtzoff, in his admirable commentary on ‘New Federal Procedure and the Courts,’ at page 92, epitomizes and digests the rulings of the courts in the following apt language: ‘Moreover, such a discovery should not be permitted until an answer is filed, since, until joinder of issue, it cannot be determined whether or not the desired documents or objects constitute or contain evidence material to an issue in controversy.’ This text was supported in Piest v. Tide Water Oil Co., D. C., 26 F. Supp. 295 ; Kenealy v. Texas Co., D. C., 29 F. Supp. 502 .””
