No. CV-23-770

LEE ANN HALL Opinion Delivered April 16, 2025
APPELLANT
APPEAL FROM THE LAWRENCE
COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT
V. [NO. 38DR-23-105]

MATHEW SIMS HONORABLE MICHELLE C. HUFF,
APPELLEE JUDGE

AFFIRMED

BRANDON J. HARRISON, Judge

Lee Ann Hall appeals from a final order of protection the Lawrence County Circuit

Court entered 20 August 2023 preventing her from harassing, abusing, or initiating contact

with her son Mathew Sims. The court granted Mathew’s petition for an order of protection,

filed 29 June 2023 at 11:00 a.m., after a hearing consolidated with his wife Scarlett’s similar

petition on behalf of herself and her four minor children. Apart from the order on appeal in

this case (which does not include the written findings we quote), the arguments and material

record facts are identical to those in Lee Ann’s appeal of Scarlett’s order of protection in the

companion case, Hall v. Sims, 2025 Ark. App. 227, ___ S.W.3d ___, which we affirm today.

We affirm Mathew’s order for the same reasons.

Affirmed.

TUCKER and THYER, JJ., agree.

R. Scott Trout, for appellant.
