COURTS — REQUEST FOR REVIEW OF CERTIFIED QUESTION TO BE WITH-DRAWN GRANTED. — Where the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas requested the supreme court to consider the district court's request for review of a certified question withdrawn, the supreme court granted the request and dismissed the certified question.
Request to Withdraw Certified Question; request granted, certified question dismissed.
[1] We recently accepted a certified question from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas. See Saunders v. Wilder Bros. Sawmill, Inc., 372 Ark. 48, ___ S.W.3d ___ (2007) (per curiam). On December 18, 2007, Petitioner moved to dismiss, stating no controversy exists. We denied the motion and noted that the matter was certified to us by the District Court, not the Petitioner, and it was incumbent upon the District Court to withdraw the certified question. See Saunders v. Wilder Bros. Sawmill, Inc., 372 Ark. 185 ___ S.W.3d ___ (2008) (per curiam).
Now we have a request from the District Court to consider the request for review withdrawn.
Request granted; certified question dismissed.
