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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The present defendants in this case have filed in this cause a motion to dismiss the appeal on the part of the present plaintiffs because they substituted themselves as plaintiffs in this suit more than one year after the date of the death of their mother, Mattie Romero, and urge that their right and cause of action is perempted. They have also filed an answer to the appeal, in which it is urged that the plaintiffs’ right and cause of action had perempted because it was not asserted within one year from the date of the death of Mattie Romero; and, in the alternative, defendants ask that the judgment of the Lower Court be amended to show that the suit was dismissed because of peremption and abatement of the right and cause of action; and further in the alternative defendants urge that if we should conclude that the provisions of LSA-R.S. 13:3349 should prevail, the judgment of the Lower Court should be affirmed. ****** “The question presented by the plea of peremption has been decided by the appellate courts of this State in numerous cases adverse to plaintiffs’ contentions, the most recent case being Gabriel v. United Theatres, 221 La. 219 , 59 So.2d 217 . During the argument of the case, counsel for plaintiffs conceded that that case was against plaintiffs’ position, but insisted that the Supreme Court committed error in deciding the case as it did, or that, if the case was decided rightly, it had no application to plaintiffs’ case because of a different factual situation. ”
