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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"This court has recognized that the enforcement of the Habitual Offender Law rests within the discretion of the district attorney. State v. Badon, 338 So.2d 665 (La.1976); State v. Overton, 337 So.2d 1201 (La.1976). However, the district attorney must file an habitual offender bill within a reasonable time after the prosecution knows that a defendant has a prior felony record. State v. Bell, 324 So.2d 451 (La.1975). Although La.R.S. 15:529.1 does not allow an indefinite time in which a district attorney may file an habitual offender bill once such information is available, neither does it impose a specific prescriptive period in which the district attorney must act upon receipt of the necessary information. State v. McQueen, 308 So.2d 752 (La.1975)."”

1 later decision quote this exact passage“"In the instant case, the district attorney filed an information accusing defendant of a previous felony conviction approximately one month after receipt of information that defendant had been previously convicted of a felony and after defendant's convictions for the instant offenses and approximately two weeks after defendant was sentenced on those convictions. Under these circumstances, we do not consider that the district attorney acted unreasonably in delaying the institution of the habitual offender proceeding even though such delay resulted in the mandatory prohibition against diminution of defendant's sentences for good behavior because of the amendment to La.R.S. 15:571.3 which went into effect in the interim."”
