1Opinion of the Court
ELANA CUNNINGHAM WILLS, Justice.
liThe State of Arkansas brings this appeal from an order of the Benton County Circuit Court dismissing the charges against appellee Jason Johnson. The circuit court agreed with Johnson that he had complied with and detrimentally relied on the terms of an agreement with the prosecutor to divert his charges in exchange for obtaining certain results on a psychiatric evaluation. In doing so, the court rejected the State’s argument that specific performance of the agreement was not an appropriate remedy. The State’s appeal is taken pursuant to Ark. R.App. P.-Crim. 3.
