1Opinion of the Court
Paul Danielson, Justice.
The State of Arkansas brings this appeal from the order of the Pulaski County Circuit Court, which granted appellee Carey L. Owens’s motion to dismiss for lack ofjurisdiction. The State’s sole point on appeal is that the circuit court erroneously interpreted Arkansas Code Annotated § 5-2-316 (Repl. 2006) as depriving the court ofjurisdiction.
