Supreme Court of Arkansas

Willie Gaster Davis, Jr. v. Wendy Kelley

March 18, 20212021 Ark. 63

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal with prejudice of Davis's mandamus petition and conversion complaint. Davis had not established a clear right to the entire crime-lab file or a ministerial duty owed by the named prison officials and Attorney General, and he alleged no right to possess the records sufficient to support conversion. The court also designated the appeal as a strike because Davis altered a court document to misrepresent the scope of his earlier records request.
