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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“the explanation in the affidavit must be made on personal knowledge and set forth facts as would be admissible in evidence and show that the affiant is competent to testify to the matters stated in the affidavit. The party that is seeking discovery has the burden of identifying the facts to be discovered that would create a triable issue and why the party cannot produce those facts in opposition to the motion. In addition, the party has to demonstrate a reasonable basis for why he believes that discovery might reveal triable issues of fact.”
