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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The purpose of Federal Rule 36 is to expedite trial by eliminating the necessity of proving essentially undisputed and peripheral issues, [citation omitted] In this case, however, the requests for admissions would serve a different purpose; if granted they would have the effect of amending the findings of fact of defendant who entered them in his official capacity as Deputy Commissioner. The facts embodied in plaintiffs’ requests would supplement his findings of fact. We do not believe that it is proper to utilize the requests for admissions procedure in such a manner. Id. at 1349.”
