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.
“"A. An action is abandoned when the parties fail to take any step in its prosecution or defense in the trial court for a period of five years, ... * * * * * * "This provision shall be operative without formal order, but on ex parte motion of any party or other interested person, the trial court shall enter a formal order of dismissal as of the date of its abandonment."”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“"The case of DeClouet v. Kansas City Southern Railway Company, ... which is cited as authority for the proposition that discovery procedures are not steps in the prosecution or defense of a case is inapposite. It applies only when the discovery is carried out dehors the record. See Robertson v. Sightler, 304 So.2d 875 (La.App. 2nd Cir.1974)."”
