Dubois v. Hobbs

by
Appellant filed in the circuit court a pro se complaint against the Director of the Arkansas Department of Correction (ADC), asserting that, under the Interstate Corrections Compact, he was entitled to be transferred to a prison in California where his family lived. The circuit court dismissed the complaint. The Supreme Court dismissed Appellant’s appeal and mooted the motions Appellant filed in relation to the appeal, holding that the circuit court did not err in dismissing the complaint, as (1) under the Compact, ADC officials had sole control over whether Appellant would be transferred to another state; and (2) the Director had sovereign immunity.
