Griffin v. Alexander

6 Citing cases

  1. Muhammad v. Kelley

    2020 Ark. 61 (Ark. 2020)

    Having affirmed the circuit court's dismissal of Muhammad's habeas petition for failure to comply with the requirements of section 16-112-103(b), we need not address the merits of his arguments. As a general rule, this court will not review issues that are moot because to do so would be to render an advisory opinion, which this court will not do. Griffin v. Alexander, 2017 Ark. 235. Affirmed.

    On November 21, 2018, the Commission entered an order dismissing the Statements of Allegations in all five cases. As the Commission has entered an order granting petitioners all the relief they request, the Expedited Petition for Writ of Mandamus, Writ of Prohibition, and/or Writ of Certiorari and the Amended Expedited Petition for Writ of Mandamus, Writ of Prohibition, and/or Writ of Certiorari are moot. Griffin v. Alexander, 2017 Ark. 235. Petition and amended petition for writ of mandamus, writ of prohibition, and writ of certiorari are moot.

    Accordingly, we address Woodard's petition for mandamus and declare that it is moot because the underlying petition has been acted on by the circuit court. See Griffin v. Alexander, 2017 Ark. 235 (when the court had acted in the matter, the petition for writ of mandamus was moot.).
