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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The rule’s good cause and in controversy requirements are not met by mere conclu-sory allegations of the pleadings nor by merely showing the desired information to be obtained from the examination is relevant. The rule requires a greater showing of need than under the other discovery rules and a greater showing of need than relevancy.”
