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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The federal convictions cannot be considered a prior felony for the purposes of the defendant’s adjudication as a fourth felony offender. To the extent that the defendant was sentenced to penal servitude for his federal crimes, the federal convictions have a bearing only on the question of whether the five-year cleansing period in La. R.S. 15:529.1(C) has elapsed since the defendant’s second felony conviction, as alleged in the multiple offender bill of information, and .his subsequent Louisiana felony conviction. See, State v. Bennett, 524 So.2d 1297 (La.App. 3rd Cir.1988).”
