Supreme Court of Arkansas

Mazurek v. Piazza

September 4, 20142014 Ark. 355

Summary

The court held that the mandamus request to compel a ruling on the modification motion was moot because the circuit judge had already ruled on it. The court denied the remaining requests for costs and correction of the original postconviction order, explaining that mandamus was not the proper vehicle to challenge alleged omissions in that order. The court also reiterated that lack of service does not itself justify delaying action on a docketed pleading.
