How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- observing that identical federal rule of civil procedure “does not distinguish between depositions merely filed and those singled out by counsel for special attention.”
- stating under a previous version of Rule 56 that a district court should have considered a deposition even though it was not “singled out by counsel for special attention” where “the deposition that created the dispute” was not “a needle in a paper haystack”
- deposition creating factual dispute did not force the court to search for “a needle in a paper haystack”, because the case involved only five depositions
- “A claim barred by the applicable statute of limitations may properly be disposed of by summary judgment.”
