Dickinson v. State
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Decided January 10, 2008No. 07-355PublishedCited by 9 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
Donald L. Corbin, Justice.
The instant case is a no-merit appeal from a temporary civil-commitment order filed by counsel for Appellant Richard Dickinson, III, pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). The appeal was certified to this court by the Arkansas Court of Appeals for a determination of whether the Anders procedure is applicable in the context of a civil-commitment order; hence, our jurisdiction is pursuant to Ark. Sup. Ct. R. l-2(b)(l) and (5). Because we hold that the order committing Dickinson for seven days is moot, we dismiss the instant appeal.
