Supreme Court of Arkansas, 1997

Massongill v. County of Scott

Massongill v. County of Scott
Supreme Court of Arkansas · Decided March 10, 1997
327 Ark. 542; 938 S.W.2d 856; 1997 Ark. LEXIS 133

Massongill v. County of Scott

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

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.
