Troy Burdine v. Arkansas Department of Finance & Administration Richard Weiss

Summary

The court affirmed the circuit court’s order upholding the one-year disqualification of Burdine’s commercial driver’s license. It held that the Missouri administrative determination constituted a conviction under the governing federal regulations and that Arkansas was required to impose the disqualification because no prior disqualification had been recorded. The court declined to reach Burdine’s due-process argument because he had not preserved or developed it below. WILLS, J., concurring, would have reversed under Arkansas law but concurred because the parties had not provided a sufficient basis for applying Arkansas law.
