Winters v. Elders

Bradley D. Jesson, Chief Justice.

The appellant, Keenan Winters, brought an illegal-exaction suit against appellees Dr. Joycelyn Elders and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (“UAMS”).

The chancellor granted Dr. Elders’s and UAMS’s motion for summary judgment and dismissed Winters’s complaint. He raises three issues on appeal. We affirm.
