Supreme Court of Arkansas

Risher v. Singleton

October 29, 20152015 Ark. 399

Summary

The court dismissed Risher’s petition for mandamus because the circuit judge had acted on his pleadings and Risher had an adequate remedy through appeal. It declined certiorari because the challenged rulings were within the circuit court’s jurisdiction and discretion, and no extraordinary circumstances justified the writ. The court also denied requests for counsel, an evidentiary hearing, and oral argument.
