Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society v. Kolesar

Summary

The Supreme Court of Arkansas held that the appeal from the denial of the motion to compel arbitration was timely because a timely Rule 52(b) motion extended the filing period. It nevertheless affirmed the circuit court's denial without reaching the arbitration merits because the appellants failed to challenge every independent ground supporting the denial and raised several arguments for the first time in their reply brief. The court vacated the court of appeals' dismissal. No separate opinions were issued.
