Opinion

CA 06-578.

Opinion delivered February 14, 2007.

APPEAL ERROR — APPEAL DISMISSED FOR LACK OF AN APPEALABLE ORDER. — Because the circuit court's order did not resolve all the disputed issues, and the circuit court did not certify it pursuant to Arkansas Rule of Civil Procedure 54(b), the order was not final and the appellate court lacked jurisdiction to review it.

Appeal from Pope Circuit Court; Dennis Charles Sutterfield, Judge; dismissed.

Peel Law Firm, by: Jennifer L. Modersohn, for appellant.

Laws Murdoch, P.A., by: Allen Laws, for appellee.


[1] Susan Marie Mitchell appeals the circuit court's December 2005 order on various post-divorce disputes. We dismiss her appeal without prejudice for lack of an appealable order. In its order, the circuit court reserved a ruling on whether Timothy Gene Mitchell owed child support based on a stock option he allegedly received. Because the order did not resolve all the disputed issues, and the circuit court did not certify it pursuant to Arkansas Rule of Civil Procedure 54(b), the order is not final and we lack jurisdiction to review it. Ark. R. App. P.- Civ. 2(a); Hambay v. Williams, 335 Ark. 352, 353, 980 S.W.2d 263, 264 (1998).

Dismissed without prejudice.
