Arkansas Supreme Court affirms lower-court rulings in six appeals
The Arkansas Supreme Court on May 9, 2024, issued orders affirming lower-court rulings in six appeals, the court's published dispositions show.

The orders list criminal and civil appeals from Pulaski, Lincoln, Lafayette and Sebastian counties. Most entries are listed simply as "Affirmed." One civil appeal included a denial of a pro se petition for reconsideration, one entry records a concurring justice, and one records a dissenting justice.

The court affirmed the following matters (docket number and lower-court origin listed as shown in the court's order sheet): CR-23-710, Jacovan Bush v. State of Arkansas, from Pulaski County Circuit Court, Third Division — Affirmed; CV-23-633, Charles Edward Harris Jr. v. Whitney Gass, William Byers, Dexter Payne, Buddy Chadwick, John Felts, Tyrone Broomfield, John Doe, and Bobby Glover, from Lincoln County Circuit Court — Appellant's pro se petition for reconsideration denied and affirmed; CR-23-747, Huey C. White v. State of Arkansas, from Lafayette County Circuit Court — Affirmed; CV-23-720, Larry Burks v. Dexter Payne, Director, Arkansas Division of Correction, from Lincoln County Circuit Court — Affirmed; CR-23-745, Maurice Richardson v. State of Arkansas, from Sebastian County Circuit Court, Fort Smith District — Affirmed; CV-23-721, Malachi Muhammad v. Dexter Payne, Director, Arkansas Division of Correction, from Lincoln County Circuit Court — Affirmed.

The court's order sheet also notes that Justice Barbara W. Webb concurred in CR-23-747, and that Justice Rhonda K. Wood dissented in CV-23-721. The document lists the justices by name at the top of the order sheet as the procedural cover for the day's dispositions.

The orders themselves provide the appellate dispositions listed above; the court's one-line entries do not include the reasoning or opinion text in the order sheet excerpt provided. For the cases noted as affirmed, no further action or opinion text was included in the record excerpt provided here.

The Arkansas Supreme Court's May 9, 2024, dispositions affect the litigants named above and reflect the court's appellate disposition on those dockets.
