N.d. v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court affirmed the juvenile court’s authority to conduct and grant an extended juvenile jurisdiction designation after the criminal court transferred N.D.’s case pursuant to an earlier appellate mandate. It held that neither the earlier appeal nor the criminal court’s order decided the EJJ issue, so law of the case did not bar the designation. The court also rejected N.D.’s double-jeopardy claim as premature and declined to consider his unsupported due-process argument.
