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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Under Articles 916 and 919 of the Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure, the trial court is authorized to extend the return date. Once the return date has expired, however, no further extension is possible. Upon the expiration of the return date, the judgment becomes final. See LSA-C.Cr.P. Art. 919, Comment (b); State v. Price, La., 274 So.2d 194 (1973); State v. Ash, 257 La. 337 , 242 So.2d 535 (1971); Wischer v. Madison Realty Co., 242 La. 334 , 136 So.2d 62 (1961). "In Wischer v. Madison Realty Co., supra, the rule is succinctly stated as follows: "`Any action of the trial court upon an application for an extension filed after the last extended return date is without legal effect.' "In the present case, since the original return date expired without an extension, the judgment became final. The several extensions granted thereafter were without effect."”
