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

1. “The Code of Civil Procedure does not provide for a partial peremptory exception raising the objection of no right of action. Cenac Towing Co. v. Cenac, 413 So.2d 1351, 1352 (La.App. 1st Cir.1982). If a plaintiff has a right of action as to any one of the theories or demands for relief set out in his petition, the objection of no right of action should not be maintained. Cenac, 413 So.2d at 1352 . The reason for this rule is to prevent the piecemeal trial or appeal of claims based on the same facts. Cenac, 413 So.2d at 1352 .”

2. “Based on the evidence, reasonable minds could conclude that the plaintiff did not sustain a disc injury requiring surgery due to the accident and therefore, that the surgery was unnecessary. The jury’s award of medical expenses supports such a conclusion as the jury awarded the plaintiff all of his medical expenses' except those associated with the surgery. Thus, based upon the evidence, reasonable minds could conclude that the defendants were not responsible for any general damages associated with the surgery.”
