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

Summary

The concurrence agrees that Gray's appeal should be dismissed but rejects mootness as the basis for dismissal. It reasons that Gray filed a preelection eligibility challenge after the general election, when the circuit court lacked subject-matter jurisdiction to consider that type of claim or order relief. The concurrence concludes that the absence of subject-matter jurisdiction precedes any mootness inquiry.
