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 97 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[A]uthorize[s] a court to dismiss a complaint for violating a court-imposed discovery order, but [the Rule does not authorize the sanction of] ... outright dismissal [where the accused party] ... did not violate any “order” of the court. The plain language of Rule 37(b) requires that a court order be in effect before sanctions are imposed and we have clearly held that “dismissal under this subdivision [is] improper in the absence of an order.””
4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“If a party ... fails to obey an order to provide or permit discovery ... the court in which the action is pending may make such orders in regard to the failure as are just, and among others the following: (C) An order ... dismissing the action or proceeding.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“'Rule 37 ... addresses itself with particularity to the consequences of a failure to make discovery.... There is no need to resort to Rule 41(b), which appears in that part of the Rules concerned with trials and which lacks such specific references to discovery.'”
