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

1. “Both the Sixth Amendment of the United States Constitution and Article I, Section 16 of the Louisiana Constitution (1974) guarantee a criminal defendant the right to compulsory process and to present a defense. A defendant's right to compulsory process is the right to demand subpoenas for witnesses and the right to have those subpoenas served. State v. Gordon, 01-734 (La.App. 5 Cir. 11/27/01) , 803 So.2d 131, 148 , writs denied, XXXX-XXXX (La.12/19/02), 833 So.2d 336 and XXXX-XXXX (La.2/14/03), 836 So.2d 134 .”

2. “A. The district court may grant one extension of the return date of not more than thirty days. An extension may not be granted after the return date has passed. The extension may be granted only upon proof presented by the moving party that additional time is necessary due to extenuating circumstances beyond the control of the moving party and that, without the extension, an unusual and undue hardship would be created. A copy of the extension shall be filed with the appellate court and the clerk of the district court. B. Subsequent extensions may be granted by the appellate court for sufficient cause or at the request of the court reporter as provided in Article 919. When a subsequent extension is granted by the appellate court, notice thereof shall be given by mail by the clerk of the district court to all parties. Failure of the clerk of the district court to mail such notice shall not affect the validity of the appeal nor will any error or defect which is not imputable to the appellant affect the validity of the appeal.”

3. “Smith was decided under a previous version of LSA-C.Cr.P. art. 919 which was amended in 1980, 1984, 1987, 1988, and 1999. LSA-C.Cr.P. art. 916 has also been amended since Smith. Furthermore, LSA-C.Cr.P. art. 915.1 B was added to the Code of Criminal Procedure by Acts 1988, No. 525, § 1 and was not in existence at the time of Smith . We therefore conclude that Smith is not applicable to the instant case. [Footnote omitted.]”
