Supreme Court of Arkansas

David Clark v. the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission and Scott Henderson in His Capacity as Its Director

June 23, 20112011 Ark. LEXIS 250

Summary

The court dismissed Clark’s appeal because his notice of appeal falsely represented that the required financial arrangements for preparing the appellate transcript had been made. Substantial compliance with the appellate rules required those arrangements to be completed on or before filing the notice of appeal, and Clark did not pay the requested deposit until more than two months later. The court therefore did not reach the merits of whether the hunting season could be cancelled.
