Clark v. Readnour, CA05-599, COURT OF APPEALS OF ARKANSAS, DIVISION THREE, January 18, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Trial court correctly dismissed landowners' action against one neighbor where service was made on her guardian but not on the neighbor individually as required by Ark. R. Civ. P. 4(d)(3). There was no evidence presented to trial court as to whether road was public or private; thus, the neighbors did not demonstrate that court lacked jurisdiction.

View this case - free  

Overview: Trial court violated Ark. Code Ann. § 16-89-125(e) when it answered questions from jury without summoning it into open court; however, State overcame the presumption of prejudice where the record showed the answers were put in writing, made a part of the record, approved by defense counsel, and trial judge had no direct communication with jurors.

Drummond v. State, CACR05-110, COURT OF APPEALS OF ARKANSAS, DIVISION TWO, January 18, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: The trial court did not err by denying defendant's motion for mistrial following testimony elicited by the State of other crimes attributed to him in violation of Ark. R. Evid. 404(b) because defendant "opened the door" to otherwise impermissible inquiry and failed to object to questionable testimony in a timely manner.

Overview: Defendant's probation was properly revoked where officer's testimony at hearing was not hearsay under Ark. R. Evid. 801(c) as it was not offered for the truth of the matter asserted. Evidence was sufficient to show that defendant violated the terms and conditions of his probation and the State proved at least one violation.

View this case - free  

Overview: Appellate court dismissed as moot an individual's appeal from an order of protection that was issued against him as the order had expired by the time the matter came up for review, there was no legal remedy for the individual, and any judgment rendered would have not practical legal effect upon an existing legal controversy.

Henderson v. Lennox Indus., CA05-00719, COURT OF APPEALS OF ARKANSAS, January 18, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Arkansas Workers' Compensation Commission could find that, pursuant to Ark. Code Ann. § 11-9-514(b), the employee knew that treatment by her physician was unauthorized and not the responsibility of the employer or insurer. Award of temporary total disability to employee was proper as employee was within healing period and unable to earn wages.

View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's conviction for rape, in violation of Ark. Code Ann. § 5-14-103(a)(1)(B), was upheld where the victim's testimony about her physical symptoms, when coupled with the testimony of the other witnesses, provided circumstantial evidence of penetration, which was an element of both rape by sexual intercourse and by deviate sexual activity.

Martinez v. Wright, CA05-730, COURT OF APPEALS OF ARKANSAS, DIVISION FOUR, January 18, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant filed answer that generally denied allegations of plaintiff's complaint, including that she was negligent. Thus, fact that she did not file a counterclaim was not an assertion of fact, and therefore, she could not be impeached on that point. Thus, the trial court did not err in precluding plaintiff's cross-examination on latter issue.
