Supreme Court of Arkansas
Anthony Williamson v. Theodore Brown
February 19, 20262026 Ark. 36
Summary
The court affirmed summary judgment for the Arkansas State Crime Laboratory in Williamson’s action seeking records under the Arkansas public-records statute and a writ of mandamus. The Crime Lab established that it had produced all records relating to Williamson’s criminal cases and had not produced records unrelated to those cases, while Williamson could not identify any additional records he was entitled to receive. Because he failed to show disputed material facts or a clear and certain right to mandamus relief, the court held that the circuit court properly entered judgment for the Crime Lab.
