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 Court does not make such a finding for purposes of the parties' respective claims for declaratory relief, because, as explained above, there is no basis in the law for such a conclusion " since it would upset Underwriters' reasonable settlement decision under the Primary Policy) (emphasis added). Scottsdale has not articulated why the Court's conclusion in this regard was legally incorrect, which in any event would not be an appropriate basis for a motion for reconsideration and instead is more appropriately raised on appeal. Therefore, Scottsdale is not entitled to any relief in connection with its motion for reconsideration. 3. Summary In conclusion, Scottsdale has not identified a legitimate basis for the Court to revisit the determinations reached in the SJ Order. Therefore, the Court DENIES Scottsdale's motion for reconsideration in its entirety. II. Dickstein's Motion for Attorneys' Fees Turning to Dickstein's motion for attorneys' fees against Scottsdale, the primary point of disagreement between Dickstein and Scottsdale is whether California law or New York law should apply to Dickstein's fee request. A. Choice of Law In a federal action brought under diversity jurisdiction, the district court "appl[ies] the substantive law of the forum in which the court is located, including the forum's choice of law rules.”
