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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The application for a stay order is to be determined by the court in the exercise of its discretion in light of the guidelines set forth in Virginia Petroleum Jobbers Association v. Federal Power Commission, 104 U.S.App.D.C. 106 , 259 F.2d 921 (1958), and adopted in the case of Division of Admin. v. Dept. of Civil Service, 345 So.2d 67 (La.App. 1st Cir.1976). According to these guidelines, four factors should be considered by the court in determining whether or not adequate grounds exist for the granting of a stay order: (1) Has the petitioner made a strong showing that he is likely to prevail on the merits? (2) Has the petitioner shown that without such relief, he will sustain irreparable injury? (3) Would the issuance of the stay order substantially harm other parties interested in the proceedings? (4) Where does the public interest lie?”
