Massongill v. County of Scott
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Massongill v. County of Scott, 327 Ark. 542 (Ark. 1997)
938 S.W.2d 856; 1997 Ark. LEXIS 133
Massongill v. County of Scott
Opinion of the Court
The motion for disqualification or recusal of Supreme Court justices filed by appellant Doyle Massongill is denied. Appellant also requests a hearing “[i]f the Justices choose not to recuse without a hearing.” We find appellant’s request for a hearing after denial of the motion to be inconsistent. The purpose of a hearing is to consider the merits of a motion before making a decision. Therefore, appellant’s request for a hearing “if the Justices choose not to recuse” is denied on grounds of mootness.
