Dexter J. Harmon, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

Summary

The court remanded because the circuit court ordered disbursement of the inmate's settlement funds without making findings required by the reimbursement statutes. The circuit court had to determine whether Harmon’s father had an enforceable right to support, whether restitution was owed, and whether attorney fees and costs related to Harmon’s civil-rights action were payable before distributing the remaining funds. The court declined to reach Harmon’s other appellate arguments because he had not obtained rulings on them below.
