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 election had occurred and the requested injunctive and declaratory relief could no longer have a practical legal effect. Gray did not develop an argument that either recognized exception to mootness applied, and the court declined to develop one for him. Chief Justice Howard W. Brill, concurring, agreed with dismissal but would have dismissed for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction because Gray filed a preelection eligibility challenge after the general election.
