Deer/Mt. Judea School District v. Kimbrell

The appeal in the Beebe case is untimely, and I therefore respectfully dissent from the majority’s conclusion otherwise. I would grant the State’s motion to dismiss the appeal in Beebe, albeit for slightly different reasoning than argued in the State’s motion. Although the specific argument raised by the State is not well taken, the general idea of the untimeliness of the Beebe appeal gives me concern. This court’s appellate jurisdiction requires a timely appeal from a final order; we are obliged to raise jurisdictional issues on our own.
