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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"In determining whether a person is entitled to litigate as a pauper, the trial court has some discretion to restrict it to litigants `clearly entitled to it, with due regard to the nature of the proceeding, the court costs which otherwise would have to be paid, and the ability of the litigant to pay them or furnish security therefor. . . .' LSA-CCP Art. 5182. This discretion should not be disturbed in the absence of abuse. Best v. J. & B. Drilling Company, La.App. 3d Cir., 152 So.2d 119 ; Nemarich v. Star Checker Cab Co., La.App.Orl., 150 So. 862 ."”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The general approach . . . is to balance against income the needs of living and of paying other bills and expenses, and then to determine whether the residual income (or savings or surplus property) is adequate to pay the expected cost of litigation or to furnish a bond therefor.”
