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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he general desirability that a final judgment not be lightly disturbed, . . . where relief is sought from a judgment of dismissal or default, the relative interest of deciding cases on the merits and the interest in orderly procedure, . . . the opportunity the movant had to present his claim or defense, and . . . any intervening equities.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[T]he setting aside of a judgment pursuant to [Rule 60(b)(6)] ... should only take place where (1) extraordinary circumstances exist and (2) there is a showing that justice demands it. This test is two-pronged, and relief should be forthcoming only where both requisites exist.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“On motion and upon such terms as are just, the Court may relieve a party or his legal representative from a final judgment, order or proceeding for the following reasons: (6) Any other reason justifying relief from the operation of the judgment.”
