lawsuit by James Dockery of Little Rock that aimed to prevent the AGFC
from using funds it receives from natural gas leases.
Noe previously had been in business raising, shipping and releasing

mallards in Arkansas and other states, and had refused to comply with
state regulations and conditions contained in a Wildlife Breeder/Dealer
Permit.
Those regulations and permit conditions require keeping captive ducks

in enclosed areas and prohibit releasing the birds into the wild except
under limited circumstances. Noe sued the AGFC in federal courts
between December 2004 and 2006, claiming that the federal Migratory
Bird Treaty Act provided for exclusive regulation of duck breeding and
shooting activities, and that the more restrictive requirements enforced
by the AGFC were illegal.
The federal courts ruled against Noe and upheld the AGFC’s regulatory
authority. Noe was later prosecuted in state court in 2007 for continuing
