Arkansas– Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin announced on Tuesday that a law suit against Governor of Arkansas, Sarah Sanders was dismissed.
A law suit filed by attorney and blogger Matt Campbell alleging that Governor Sarah Huckabee- Sanders of four violations of the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act, after a FOIA request was denied.
The Freedom of Information Act request was over the controversial $19,000 lectern.
According to court documents, Campbell requested all emails since January to or from addresses linked to Bryan Sanders, the first gentleman; Bryan Sanders’ Outlook calendar; and the bills of lading or other shipping and delivery documents connected to the controversial lectern. In a separate request, Campbell also asked for emails the governor’s office sent to anyone making a FOIA request since January of 2023.
The suit was filed in October of 2023.
Now, the suit is dismissed as Campbell failed to serve process within 120 days of filing the complaint.
“This was the proper outcome for this baseless case after Mr. Campbell failed to serve process within 120 days of filing the complaint—the second time this year he has had a case dismissed for failure to serve process. It’s unfortunate that cases like this waste taxpayer dollars and clog up our judicial system.”
