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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he first issue that must be determined in a petitory action is the question of current possession. Mt. Everett African Methodist Episcopal Church v. Carter, 96-2591 (La.App. 1st Cir.12/29/97), 705 So.2d 1179, 1181 . The defendant’s possession, or lack of it, determines the burden of proof imposed on the plaintiff. Joffrion v. Scioneaux, 506 So.2d 512, 513-14 (La.App. 1st Cir.1986), unit denied, 505 So.2d 1132 (La.1987). The possession required to put the more onerous burden on the plaintiff is the same possession required to initiate the pos-sessory action or to establish acquisitive prescription. Griffin v. Daigle, 99-1942 (La.App. 1st Cir.9/22/00), 769 So.2d 720, 725 , unit denied, 00-3406 (La.2/2/01), 784 So.2d 648 ; see LSA-C.C.P. art. 3660. The defendant is in possession when he and his ancestors in title have had corporeal possession for at least one year or civil possession for the same period of time preceded by corporeal possession. See LSA-C.C.P. arts. 3658 and 3660; LSA-C.C. art. 3476; Id.”
