Supreme Court of Arkansas

Smith v. Pavan

December 10, 20152015 Ark. 474

Summary

The court partially granted the Arkansas Department of Health Director’s request for an emergency stay pending appeal. It declined to stay the portion of the circuit court’s order requiring amended birth certificates for the named plaintiffs, but stayed the order’s remaining provisions because preserving the status quo would avoid confusion while the appeal proceeded. The court also granted the motion to expand the page limit.
