Tonia Ingle, Appellant v. Arkansas Department of Human Services, Appellee — Hart, J., Concurring

Summary

Justice Hart's concurrence explains that the prior appellate decision reversed both the permanent-custody award and the circuit court's closure of the dependency-neglect case, leaving the proceedings ongoing under the juvenile code. She concludes that the prior decision permitted a party to seek further proceedings if new facts raised serious concerns about returning the child to Ingle, and did not deprive the circuit court of jurisdiction to consider such a petition. Justice Corbin, dissenting, would have dismissed the appeal for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction, asserting that the mandate required only the child's return to Ingle.
