Kilcrease v. Butler
Supreme Court of Arkansas

1Opinion of the Court
Steele Hays, Justice.
Amanda Kilcrease brought suit against Drs. Roy Gene Girkin, Dennis R. Fecher and James Butler for the wrongful death of her husband, allegedly caused by medical malpractice.
Dr. Butler moved for the dismissal of the complaint as to him under ARCP Rule 12(b). The circuit court granted the motion and Mrs. Kilcrease has appealed. We dismiss the appeal for the lack of an appealable order, a jurisdictional requirement we are obliged to raise even when the parties do not. Arkansas Savings and Loan v. Corning Savings and Loan Association, 252 Ark. 264, 478 S.W.2d 431 (1972).
