The eighth U.S. Circuit Courtroom of Appeals denied the state’s request for the complete courtroom to listen to its attraction of the non permanent order towards Arkansas’ legislation. A 3-judge panel of the courtroom in August upheld a decide’s injunction towards the ban.

The state has argued that the prohibition is inside its authority to control the medical career. Folks against such therapies for kids argue they’re too younger to make such selections about their futures.

A number of medical teams, together with the American Medical Affiliation and the American Academy of Pediatrics, oppose the bans and specialists say the therapies are protected if correctly administered.

Lawyer Basic Leslie Rutledge’s workplace mentioned its request was denied for procedural causes and that Wednesday’s ruling invitations the state to attraction once more as soon as the trial over Arkansas’ ban is accomplished.

Parade on Beale Street | Arkansas Democrat Gazette

MEMPHIS –While Beale Street is famous for being the Home of the Blues, red was the color of the day Dec. 26 at the Beale Street Parade, where many watchers were clad in red — a team color for both teams playing in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl the following day.

Marching bands, vintage vehicles, cheer squads and floats marched, strutted and cruised down the historic street in downtown Memphis as fans of the Arkansas Razorbacks and the Texas Tech Red Raiders lined the streets, cheering as bands and cheer squads from their schools passed by.

The University of Arkansas Razorback Marching Band, cheerleaders and pep squad brought up the rear of the parade, creating a grand finale as they marched to meet Texas Tech’s Goin’ Band from Raiderland at Beale Street’s Handy Park for a festive Bash on Beale Pep Rally. Both the parade and the pep rally were sponsored by the Beale Street Merchants Association.
