Arkansas Game and Fish Commission and Jeff Crow, as Director of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission v. Greg Heslep…

Summary

The court held that sovereign immunity did not require dismissal because the complaint alleged that the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission illegally or ultra vires blocked the appellees’ established access to their property and sought injunctive and declaratory, rather than monetary, relief. The court reversed the temporary injunction because the circuit court issued it without stating reasons, making specific findings, or requiring security as required by Rule 65. The case was affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded.
