Supreme Court of Arkansas

State of Arkansas Ex Rel. Leslie Rutledge v. Purdue Pharma L.P.

June 10, 2021624 S.W.3d 106

Summary

The court dismissed the State's interlocutory appeal for lack of appellate jurisdiction. It held that an order directing the State to amend its complaint to omit claims associated with certain agencies was not appealable under Rule 2(a)(4) because the order did not strike the complaint in its entirety, and the rule does not make orders striking only part of a pleading immediately appealable.
