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

1. ““We agree with that broad jurisprudential rule, but only when the required bond for suspensive appeal actually furnishes security for all appellants and, perhaps, when the required bond for devolu-tive appeal in fact affords security for all costs due by all appellants, i. e., when the appellee in either a suspensive or devolu-tive appeal is afforded the full required appeal security. (Emphasis ours.) “[2] Here, the only security furnished is the bond filed by Schnell, Carbo and Rockwood Insurance. That bond binds its surety only for those three appellants; the bond does not mention Bourg. Thus, as to both the money judgment and costs, the appellee is without recourse against the surety insofar as Bourg is concerned.3 Under these circumstances, the rule relied on by Bourg has no application. Accordingly, we dismiss his appeal.” (Footnote 3. omitted.)”
