State ex rel. Durden v. Shahan (Per Curiam)
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed in part and reversed in part the judgment of the court of appeals affirming the orders that held that a county attorney lacked authority to pursue certain claims on the state's behalf and that sanctioned him personally and individually for pursuing the claims without such authority, holding that the court should have accepted the attorney's appeal from the sanctions order.
In affirming the orders at issue, the court of appeals agreed with the lower court that the attorney lacked authority and held that he failed to perfect an appeal on his own behalf. The Supreme Court reversed in part, holding that the court of appeals (1) correctly held that the attorney lacked authority; but (2) should have accepted the attorney's appeal for the order of sanctions or permitted him to amend the notices of appeal.
