Samuel A. Perroni, Appellant v. David Sachar, Executive Director of the Arkansas Judicial Discipline — Hart, J…

Summary

Justice Hart’s dissent contends that the appellant brought a declaratory-judgment action challenging the constitutionality of statutes and procedural rules governing the Judicial Discipline and Disability Commission, rather than an appeal from the Commission’s dismissal of his complaint. She would hold that the circuit court had jurisdiction to hear the constitutional and injunctive claims and that the pleading should not have been summarily dismissed. Justice Wynne, dissenting, would reverse and remand on jurisdiction and standing, while Justice Goodson, concurring in part and dissenting in part, would retain jurisdiction over the declaratory claim but affirm dismissal for lack of standing.
