Floyd E. Gray, Appellant v. Mary F. Thomas-Barnes, Clinton “hamp” Hampton, Chicot County Election Commission, And…

Summary

The court dismissed Gray’s appeal as moot because the challenged runoff election had already occurred, and any judgment concerning Thomas-Barnes’s eligibility would have no practical legal effect. Gray did not address or develop an argument that either recognized exception to mootness applied. Chief Justice Brill, concurring, agreed with dismissal but would have based it on the circuit court’s lack of subject-matter jurisdiction rather than mootness.
