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 38 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The record establishes that the deadline for the production of documents was personally communicated to the plaintiff, and his son, and that it was a current, not a long prior forgotten order. The record further establishes that the plaintiff had turned over to his son the basic task of producing the requested documents and that those tardily produced were in fact in Perry’s possession. In this case, however, the district court was amply justified in treating the failure of the son as that of the plaintiff. Since Perry was the “alter ego” of his father for purposes of documentary production, the court considers the failure of the non-party as that of the party.”
