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

1. ““When an appellant obtains an order for both a suspensive and devolutive appeal it does not mean that there are two appeals, but merely expresses the intention that 'if, for any reason, the appeal should not stay execution of the judgment, it shall nevertheless afford the appellant an opportunity to reverse or remand the judgment. Lafayette v. Farr, 162 La. 385 , 110 So. 624 . Under the articles of the Code of Practice, it is not required that either the petition, motion for appeal, or appeal bond shall state whether a suspensive or devolutive appeal is applied for. The character and amount of the bond and the time at which it is filed determine the character of the appeal. Grant v. Succession of Grant, 159 La. 535 , 105 So. 611 . And where a sus-pensive and devolutive appeal have been taken, the one bond will serve for a suspensive appeal if filed in time; if not, then for a devolutive appeal. Bernheim v. Pessou, 143 La. 609 , 79 So. 23 ; Cortez v. Cortez, 175 La. 179 , 143 So. 41 .””
