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.
“It bears adding that to the extent [Plaintiff] sought an adverse inference instruction for spoliation of electronic information, a 2015 amendment to Civil Rule 37(e)(2) required her to show that [Defendants] had "intent" to deprive her of the information's use. A showing of negligence or even gross negligence will not do the trick. Fed. R. Civ. P. 37, 2015 Advisory Comm. Note. [Plaintiff] would not have been able to show any degree of fault for [Defendant]'s alleged destruction of records, because [ ]he cannot show that [Defendant] destroyed the records-if they even existed in the first place-after it was put on notice of litigation.”
