Arkansas Department of Finance & Administration v. 2600 Holdings, LLC

Summary

The court held that sovereign immunity did not bar 2600 Holdings’ petition for a writ of mandamus because Arkansas courts have subject-matter jurisdiction to issue such writs. It dismissed the declaratory-judgment claim because the complaint did not allege that the State acted illegally, unconstitutionally, or ultra vires, and it dismissed any claims seeking relief under the Administrative Procedure Act for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. The court therefore affirmed in part, dismissed in part, and remanded.
