Supreme Court of Arkansas

Kelley v. Shults.dissent

April 3, 20172017 Ark. 112

Summary

Justice Wood dissented from dismissal of the State's emergency stay request after the circuit court orally ordered immediate disclosure of unredacted materials without initially filing a written order. She would have treated the missing written order as a curable procedural omission and ordered supplementation of the appellate record rather than dismissing for lack of jurisdiction. Justice Womack joined the dissent.
