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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “"Defendant-appellee Mason had from July 13, 1962, on which date the order was rendered authorizing plaintiff to prosecute the suit without prior payment of costs, up to April 4, 1963, the date on which the order of appeal was granted (a period of nine months) to traverse plaintiff's right to litigate as a pauper, but failed to avail himself of the opportunity. "Even if Mason had no inkling before February 7, 1963, that plaintiff did not come within the terms and intent of LSA-C.C.P. art. 5181, he still had from that date to April 4, 1963 (about sixty days) to traverse plaintiff's affidavits; therefore, we do not feel there is justification for granting an order to remand at this late date."”

2. “"Our courts have held that where a devolutive appeal is taken in forma pauperis without allowing the appellee sufficient time in which to traverse the affidavits of poverty, the appellate court may, upon timely application therefor, remand the cause to give the appellee the opportunity to do so. See Brewer v. Theole, 186 La. 168 , 171 So. 839 ; Buckley v. Thibodaux, 181 La. 416 , 159 So. 603 ." (Emphasis added).”
