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.

  1. “As a threshold matter, we note that a judgment holding a party to a lawsuit in contempt of court is not a judgment from which an appeal may be taken. The aggrieved party's appropriate remedy in such a case is to apply for supervisory writs. City of Monroe v. Evans, 385 So.2d 912 (La.App. 2d Cir.1980); Pearce v. Dozier, 181 So.2d 432 (La.App. 2d Cir.1965); State v. Sampson, 498 So.2d 1145 (La.App. 3d Cir.1986); Slaughter v. Slaughter, 499 So.2d 1123 (La.App. 3d Cir.1986); Matter on Carter, 357 So.2d 1175 (La.App. 3d Cir. 1978), writ denied, 358 So.2d 949 (La. 1978). Although the majority of Louisiana jurisprudence holds that contempt judgments are not appealable, some cases have permitted a review on appeal where the appellate court was reviewing other related appealable matters. City of Monroe v. Evans, supra; Bruner v. Bruner, 373 So.2d 971 (La.App. 2d Cir. 1979); Weeks v. Weeks, 349 So.2d 1008 (La.App. 2d Cir.1977); Lambert v. Adams, 347 So.2d 883 (La.App. 3d Cir. 1977).”
