Chris P. Corbitt, Esq. v. Pulaski County Jail Eric Higgins

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Corbitt’s petition for a writ of mandamus seeking permission to carry a firearm into a courthouse. It held that mandamus could not establish Corbitt’s asserted statutory right because he had not first established a clear and certain right to the requested relief, and the circuit court properly prioritized and considered the mandamus request. The court did not reach the merits of Corbitt’s declaratory-judgment or injunctive-relief claims because he did not challenge their denial on appeal.
