Supreme Court of Arkansas
Kojleb Kesai v. William G. Almand, Special Administrator of the Estate of Ricky Stephens — Henry, J., Dissenting
May 12, 20112011 Ark. LEXIS 201
Summary
The dissent would have dismissed the appeal because the attorney who was personally assessed costs did not file a notice of appeal, while every notice identified only the plaintiff as the appealing party. It reasoned that the notice therefore failed to comply with the requirement that it specify the party taking the appeal, depriving the court of jurisdiction to reach the merits. The dissent disagreed with the majority's decision to consider the merits despite that defect.
