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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"[T]he party who seeks a protective order has the burden of showing good cause why discovery should not be had. "`Thus, to be entitled to a protective order, a movant must either show good cause why the objected-to deposition or production of documents would be unduly burdensome or expensive, oppressive, embarrassing or annoying, or that the subject matter sought to be discovered is privileged.'"”
6 later decisions quote this exact passage“"There are no assertions in the motions for a protective order that would amount to a showing of good cause. ... We do not think these assertions indicate annoyance, embarrassment or oppression or show undue burden or expense as required by Rule 26(c), A[la]. R. C[iv]. P. Hence, to grant a protective order on the grounds asserted by the defendants is an abuse of discretion."”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“"Here, not only has there been a denial of the taking of a deposition, but the denial of discovery altogether or at least a total postponement. There may be instances where the complete denial of discovery is justified, but based on the record before us, this is not such a case."”
