Kristina Gulley v. State of Arkansas Ex Rel. Larry Jegley, Sixth Judicial District Prosecuting Attorney and Pulaski…

Summary

The court affirmed the preliminary injunction barring Gulley from exercising the powers of a justice of the peace or participating in the quorum court. It held that res judicata did not apply because the earlier action involved different parties and issues, and it concluded that the circuit court did not clearly err in finding disqualifying convictions or abuse its discretion in finding likely success and irreparable harm. The court’s decision was limited to whether the preliminary injunction was properly issued, not the ultimate merits of Gulley’s removal.
