Arkansas Department of Finance & Administration v. Carroll County Holdings, Inc.

Summary

The court held that the circuit court lacked subject-matter jurisdiction over Eureka Green’s challenge to the denial of a medical-marijuana dispensary license. The claim was not an appeal from an agency adjudication because no hearing or quasi-judicial agency decision occurred, and it was not a proper declaratory-judgment action because it challenged the agency’s application of its rules rather than their validity or applicability. The court therefore reversed and dismissed.
