Fuqua v. Flowers

TOM Glaze, Justice.

This appeal arises from the trial court’s tice. complaint filed by Jannetta Fuqua and Beverly Hayes against Dan Flowers, Director of the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department, Francis Jones, a district sign foreman for the Department, and the Department itself (collectively referred to as ASHTD or the Department). Our jurisdiction is pursuant to Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 1-2 (a)(1), as the appeal asks us to interpret the sovereign immunity provisions of the Arkansas Constitution. We find no error, and we affirm the trial court’s decision.
