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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]he deposition of a witness, whether or not a party, may be used by any party for any purpose if the court finds: . . . that the witness is at a greater distance than 100 miles from the place of trial or hearing,. . . unless it appears that the absence of the witness was procured by the party offering the deposition. . . .”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“'[p]rocurement' implies that there was some collusion in having witnesses remove themselves from the reach of subpoenas or to deliberately absent themselves from the jurisdiction.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“specif-ie[ ] represent[ations] to the court that none of the named parties had procured the deponent's absence.”
