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 122 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is a familiar principle that the label a district court puts on its disposition of a case is not binding on a court of appeals.”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“If, on a motion asserting the defense numbered (6) to dismiss for failure of the pleading to state a claim upon which relief can be granted, matters outside the pleading are presented to and not excluded by the court, the motion shall be treated as one for summary judgment and disposed of as provided in Rule 56, and all parties shall be given reasonable opportunity to present all material made pertinent to such a motion by Rule 56.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“A motion for summary judgment, as distinguished from a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim, seeks to “pierce the allegations in the pleadings,” 10 C. Wright & A. Miller, Federal Practice and Procedure § 2712 at 373 (1973); it goes beyond the pleadings and challenges the factual existence of a valid claim. Summary judgment should be granted only when it is clear factually what the truth of the matter is. Poller v. Columbia Broadcasting System, [ 368 U.S. 464 , 82 S.Ct. 486 , 7 L.Ed.2d 458 (1962)]. The facts may become clear when, for example, the parties stipulate them, or when the moving party files an affidavit setting forth certain facts, and the non-moving party is unable to produce any controverting affidavit or evidence. Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(e).”
