Supreme Court of Arkansas
Baptist Health D/B/A Baptist Health Medical Center-Little Rock, and Diamond Risk Insurance, LLC v. Khampasith…
February 23, 2023659 S.W.3d 689
Summary
The court dismissed the appeal because the circuit court's order denying Baptist's motion to dismiss was not a final, appealable order. The asserted immunity protected healthcare providers from liability, not from suit, and therefore did not fall within the interlocutory-appeal exception for sovereign immunity or immunity of a government official. The court did not reach the validity of the executive order or whether the alleged conduct fell within its immunity provision.
