1Opinion of the CourtRobin F. Wynne, Associate Justice

hThe State of Arkansas has filed this interlocutory appeal from the Poinsett County Circuit Court’s order granting ap-pellee Stoney McWilliams’s motion to suppress. On appeal, the State argues that (1) the circuit court erred as a matter of law by interpreting Rule 2.2 of the Arkansas Rules of Criminal Procedure to invalidate the encounter between McWilliams and the arresting officer and (2) the circuit court erred in concluding that the officer’s actions constituted a seizure. Becausé this is not a proper State appeal under Ark. R. App. P. — Crim. 3 (2016), we dismiss the appeal.
