James Toland and First Arkansas Bail Bonds, Inc. v. Mike Robinson

Summary

The court dismissed the appeal as moot after concluding that First Arkansas lacked standing to assert Toland's constitutional rights and that Toland's declaratory-judgment claim could no longer have a practical legal effect. Toland had accepted and posted the sheriff's bond, failed to object contemporaneously, pleaded guilty, and was incarcerated before asserting the challenge. The court also held that neither recognized exception to mootness applied.
