Ark. State Police Ret. Sys. v. Sligh

Summary

The court held that sovereign immunity barred the class members' claims against the state retirement system and its trustees because the requested relief was monetary and would subject the State to liability. Neither the alleged constitutional and fiduciary violations nor the statutory correction provision waived or avoided immunity, so the complaint was dismissed. The court affirmed the denial of attorney's fees on the cross-appeal and denied the motion to strike.
