Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. F/k/a Janssen Pharmac — Danielson, J., Concurring in Part and Dissenting…

March 20, 20142014 Ark. LEXIS 188

Summary

The opinion concurs with reversal and dismissal of the State’s MFFCA claim because the statutory language must be read as a whole and does not encompass the claim. It dissents from the conclusion that the DDMAC warning letter was inadmissible hearsay, reasoning that the letter fell within the public-records exception because it resulted from the agency’s routine regulatory duties rather than a special investigation. The opinion would therefore affirm the circuit court’s denial of the motion in limine.
