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.

1. “It is the burden of the party seeking a summary judgment to show to the court that under uncontradicted facts the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.... [T]he moving party must present or point out admissions of adversary or evidence of the facts relied upon and satisfy the court that such evidence is not contradicted. If the evidence presented by the moving party is not contradicted by the opposing party by sworn evidence or record admissions of adversary, and if the uncontradicted evidence relied upon by the moving party is sufficient to entitle the moving party to judgment as a matter of law, then summary judgment for the moving party is in order.”
