Arkansas Supreme Court grants procedural motions, remands and accepts voluntary license surrenders
Summary
The court’s Sept. 26 docket records grants of specific procedural motions (including a remand to settle the record and motions to seal), orders granting motions to supplement or stay briefing in some appeals, and acceptance of voluntary bar license surrenders.
On Sept. 26, 2024, the Arkansas Supreme Court’s docket recorded a series of procedural rulings: a remand to settle the record was granted in CR-23-656 (Keenan Letrell Hudson v. State of Arkansas), an appellant’s motion to seal the record was granted in CR-24-284 (James Woods v. State of Arkansas), and the court granted petitions for voluntary surrender of license in two original actions: D-24-562 (In Re Robert Kenny McCulloch) and D-24-564 (In Re Melody W. Oliver).
Why it matters: these procedural orders address case-management and record-access matters. A remand to settle the record affects the procedural posture of an appeal by returning matters to the lower court for correction or supplementation of the record. A granted motion to seal affects public access to portions of the record. Acceptance of voluntary surrender of a law license removes the attorney’s active status from the roll as recorded by the court.
Docket details: CR-23-656(Keenan Letrell Hudson v. State) — the court granted the appellant’s motion for remand to settle the record and abeyance of briefing schedule. CR-24-284(James Woods v. State) — the appellant’s motion to seal the record was granted. D-24-562 and D-24-564(In Re Robert Kenny McCulloch; In Re Melody W. Oliver) — the court granted petitions for voluntary surrender of license (resignations). Additional procedural entries on the docket include grants to supplement records, motions to stay briefing schedules, and orders granting motions to withdraw counsel in individual appeals.
The docket summary records the procedural outcomes but does not include the full orders in the brief listing; parties and counsel should consult the court’s filed orders for specific terms and any deadlines resulting from the grants.
