Supreme Court of Arkansas
Thomas Jones; Ollye Mae Robinson Jones, Appellants v. Kimberly Jones Miller and Gerald Robinson
May 25, 20172017 Ark. LEXIS 158
Summary
The court affirmed dismissal of the replevin action because the appellants challenged only two of five independent grounds supporting dismissal. Under Arkansas appellate procedure, an appellant's failure to challenge every independent basis for a ruling permits affirmance without reaching the merits of the challenged grounds. Justice Hart, dissenting, would have held that the appellants addressed all five grounds and were entitled to merits review.
