City of Little Rock, Arkansas, Appellant v. Circuit Court of Pulaski County, Appellee

Summary

The court held that the City's notice of appeal timely brought both the sanction order and contempt order before it, but dismissed the challenge to the sanction as moot because the City voluntarily paid it without seeking a supersedeas or other protection pending appeal. The court affirmed the contempt order because the City undisputedly failed to comply with the payment deadline and could not independently challenge the underlying sanction through the contempt appeal. Justice Hart, dissenting, would have reversed and dismissed both orders, concluding that the sanction was unauthorized, imposed without required notice, and not rendered moot by the City's payment.
