## Opinion text

Josephine Linker Hart, Justice, dissenting.
The per curiam notes that parole eligibility falls within the domain of the executive branch. Thus, rather than addressing the merits of Shawn Whiteside’s claim, this court first should have considered whether | sWhiteside’s' appeal was subject to dismissal on the basis that the circuit court could not hear the appeal from the Arkansas Parole Board. I respectfully dissent.
