Supreme Court of Arkansas

Billingsley v. Benton NWA Props. LLC

February 13, 20142014 Ark. 65

Summary

The court dismissed the appeal without prejudice because the circuit court's Rule 54(b) certificate did not contain specific factual findings supporting immediate appellate review. Although the certificate stated that an appeal would promote judicial economy and efficiency, it did not identify any hardship or injustice that immediate review would alleviate. The court therefore did not reach the merits of the settlement-release dispute.
