Robert Steinbuch v. University of Arkansas A/K/A University of Arkansas-Little Rock the Trustees of the University…

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Steinbuch’s motion to waive record fees because the evidence showed that the court reporter, not the circuit clerk, prepared the record and charged the fee. Since the circuit clerk had no interest in contesting the court reporter’s fee, no justiciable controversy existed. The court affirmed on that ground even though the circuit court had reached the merits for a different reason.
