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.
“[Federal Rule of Civil Procedure] 56(e) requires that affidavits “set forth such facts as would be admissible at trial.” Conclusory affidavits cannot be used to create a question of fact. Mitchell v. Toledo Hospital, 964 F.2d 577, 584-85 (6th Cir.1992). At the summary judgment stage, a .court may only consider affidavits that are based upon personal knowledge. Brainard v. American Skandia Life Assur. Corp., 432 F.3d 655, 667 (6th Cir.2005).”
