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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is clear to the Court and we conclude as a matter of law that, as a result of the ‘practical merger’ between DPI (Desilu) and Paramount, the corporate entity DPI (Desilu) no longer has any interest in the recovery sought by plaintiff herein. “By reason of the foregoing, DPI (Desilu) no longer has any claim or cause of action which the plaintiff herein, or any other shareholder of DPI (Desilu), can bring or maintain against the individual defendants on behalf of DPI (Desilu). “. . . [S]inee, by reason of the ‘practical merger’ of DPI (Desilu) and Paramount, no former or existing shareholder could have any basis for bringing or prosecuting a derivative action on behalf of DPI (Desilu), this action should be dismissed on the merits without requiring the notice to other shareholders provided in Rule 23.1, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, 28 U.S.C. Rule 23.1.””
