OPINION DELIVERED: MARCH 8, 2017
ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN
SERVICES APPEAL FROM THE PULASKI
APPELLANT COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT,
ELEVENTH DIVISION
[NO. 60JV-16-414]
V.
HONORABLE PATRICIA A. JAMES,
JUDGE
STATE OF ARKANSAS
APPELLEE AFFIRMED
ROBERT J. GLADWIN, Judge
Appellant, the Division of Youth Services of the Arkansas Department of Human
Services (hereinafter ADHS), appeals the June 28, 2016 order of commitment for J.G. and
the June 30, 2016 order denying its motion to intervene and partially granting its motion to
set aside the June 28, 2016 order filed by the Pulaski County Circuit Court. ADHS does
not appeal the actual determination of delinquency with respect to J.G. in this matter, but
rather, the limitations and requirements placed on ADHS by the order issued by the
Eleventh Division of the Sixth Judicial District. ADHS argues that this court should (1)
reverse the denial of the motion to intervene filed by ADHS and (2) find that the limitations
placed on ADHS as it relates to its placement of J.G. upon commitment by the trial court
infringes on its statutory authority.
