Supreme Court of Arkansas

Donnell Bauer and Marilyn Bauer v. Jesse Lee Beamon, Jr. and Mary A. Beamon

March 6, 20252025 Ark. 16

Summary

The court held that the circuit court retained jurisdiction to consider the Bauers' post-appeal motions for attorney's fees and to set aside the opposing attorney-fee judgment for fraud. Because those issues arose after the prior appeal and were not addressed by the appellate mandate, the mandate did not foreclose them. The court reversed the jurisdictional ruling and remanded for consideration of both motions on their merits.
