132477P.pdf 08/08/2014 Heath Adkisson v. Blytheville School District #5
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 13-2477
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Jonesboro
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Colloton and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
Civil Case - civil rights. Parents of school children claimed Blytheville
School District violated their due process and equal protection rights
when it adopted a resolution exempting the district from the Public School
Choice Act for the 2013-14 school year on the basis that the district was
subject to a desegregation order. The district court denied a preliminary
injunction and the parents appeal. The appeal is now moot, as the request
for preliminary injunction was limited to the 2013-14 school year. The
controversy is not capable of repetition because the injunction pertained
only to the single school year. Judge Colloton concurs in the judgment.
