Supreme Court of Arkansas

Jimmy Banks v. Sharon Jones — Baker, J., Concurring

June 6, 2019575 S.W.3d 111

Summary

Justice Baker agreed with the disposition reversing the circuit court's denial of Banks's motion to dismiss. Her concurrence maintained that the governing sovereign-immunity framework made the official-capacity claims barred and that statutory and qualified immunity barred the individual-capacity claims. She also criticized the resulting inconsistency in the court's sovereign-immunity jurisprudence.
