Arkansas Department of Health José R. Romero, M.D.

Summary

The court held that the circuit court had subject-matter jurisdiction over Solomon's constitutional claims, although not under the Administrative Procedure Act provisions he cited. It further held that Solomon adequately pleaded a due-process claim sufficient to overcome sovereign immunity but failed to plead an equal-protection claim, which was dismissed. The court upheld the conclusion that the preliminary injunction did not provide final relief, but reversed and remanded because the injunction order lacked the findings required by Rule 65(d)(1).
