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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[i]n our view, the ordinary meaning of the word 'request,' without more, contemplates a two-party transaction involving one who asks that something be done and one who does what is asked. Thus, for purposes of La. R.S. 13:5107(D)(1), service of citation should be deemed 'requested' when the clerk receives service instructions from the plaintiff.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“A judgment dismissing an action without prejudice shall be rendered as to a person named as a defendant for whom service has not been requested within the time prescribed by Article 1201(C) upon the sustaining of a declinatory exception filed by such defendant, or upon contradictory motion of any other party, unless good cause is shown why service could not be requested, in which case the court may order that service be effected within a specified time.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“Service upon the defendant pursuant to La. R.S. 13:5107(D)(1) requires an accurate request of service upon the proper agent. [Johnson citation omitted] For service to be requested and effectuated, the clerk must be provided with the correct name and address of those persons to be served. In our view, the plain language of La. R.S. 13:5107(D)(1), without more, requires that the clerk receive this information before it can be “requested.” (emphasis added)”
