Supreme Court grants review in four civil petitions, denies 39 others in Sept. 25 orders

The Arkansas Supreme Court’s Sept. 25, 2025, per curiam orders granted petitions for review in four civil cases and denied review in 39 others. The court’s granted petitions include CV-21-282 (MMSC, LLC, f/k/a MMSW, LLC v. Washington County and related parties), CV-22-305 (Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc.; and Aaron Marvell Foster v. Frank McMillion and others) — the published entry records that Chief Justice Baker and Justice Hudson would have denied, and other justices recorded their preferences — CV-23-8 (Relyance Bank, N.A. v. Steve Pharr and Simmons Bank) — entry notes that Justice Womack would grant review, vacate the court of appeals opinion, and remand, while Justices Wood and Hiland would deny — and CV-23-749 (Michael Hughes v. Benjamin Bright), where Chief Justice Baker and Justices Hudson and Wood would have denied review. The per curiam orders also list a substantial number of petitions denied for review across civil and criminal dockets. Denied matters include disputes involving county and municipal governments, school-district and employment matters, workers’ compensation appeals, probate and estate actions, and other civil litigation (for example, CV-22-336; CV-22-721; CV-23-491; CV-23-667; CV-23-673; CV-23-678; CV-23-734; and numerous others listed in the docket). Several denial entries note individual justices’ views: some opinions indicate one or more justices would have granted review or recorded that they would grant, while others note which justices did not participate. The per curiam listing does not provide full opinions for the grant or denial decisions within the one-line docket entries. The court’s order docketed Sept. 25, 2025, lists both the grants and a longer list of denials; the full filing should be consulted for party names and any accompanying opinions where the court indicates a write-up will follow.
