KAREN R. BAKER, Associate Justice.

This appeal stems from the appellee, Robert Kolesar ("Robert") filing a medical-malpractice action for injuries allegedly sustained by his wife, Vera Kolesar ("Vera"), while she was a resident at the appellants' nursing home. On December 2, 2010, Robert, as attorney-in-fact for Vera, filed suit in the Saline County Circuit Court against appellants, the Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society; the Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society d/b/a Good Samaritan Society — Hot Springs Village; Good Samaritan Society Insurance Company, Ltd.; and Corinne White, in her capacity as Administrator of Good Samaritan Society — Hot Springs Village ("Good Samaritan").1

On December 30, 2010, Good Samaritan removed the case to federal court and asserted that the case was controlled by a valid arbitration agreement. On April 15, 2011, having found that it lacked subject-matter jurisdiction based on lack of diversity of citizenship between the parties, the federal district court remanded the matter to Saline County Circuit Court.

On May 19, 2011, Good Samaritan filed a motion to compel arbitration and for dismissal. On July 13, 2011, Robert responded to the motion to compel arbitration and for dismissal, opposed the motion, and asserted, among other things, that (1) there was not a valid arbitration agreement; (2) Good Samaritan waived its rights to arbitration; (3) the arbitration agreement was impossible to perform because the National Arbitration Forum ("NAF") was referenced and incorporated as an integral term and the NAF is no longer conducting consumer arbitrations; (4) the arbitration agreement was unconscionable; (5) the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA") does not nullify the application of Arkansas law; (6) the arbitration agreement is illegal because it deprives Vera of her rights reserved under the Arkansas Resident's Rights statute; (7) Robert did not have the authority to waive Vera's right to a jury trial or to enter into agreements on her behalf; (8) there was no consideration for the agreement; and (9) Good Samaritan breached its fiduciary duty to Vera. On July 20, 2011, Good Samaritan replied to Robert's response to its motion to compel arbitration and asserted that the agreement was enforceable and contended that (1) Good Samaritan did not waive its right to compel arbitration; (2) the arbitration agreement is enforceable according to the agreement's terms and the NAF was not an integral term; (3) the arbitration agreement is not unconscionable; (4) the Arkansas Arbitration Act does not preclude arbitration in Vera's case; (5) the Arkansas Resident's Rights Act is not affected as this matter is controlled by the FAA; (6) Robert had sufficient authority to enter into the arbitration agreement for Vera; (7) there is valid consideration for the agreement; and (7) Good Samaritan has not breached its fiduciary duty.

On November 3, 2011, the circuit court conducted a hearing on the motion to compel arbitration. On May 18, 2012, the circuit court conducted a second hearing and summarily denied the motion to compel arbitration. On May 21, 2012, the circuit court entered an order denying the motion to compel. On May 29, 2012, Good Samaritan filed a motion for specific findings of fact and conclusions of law. The circuit court did not rule on the motion and, on June 28, 2012, the motion was deemed denied. On July 20, 2012, Good Samaritan filed a notice of appeal.

From the circuit court's May 18, 2012 denial of its motion to compel arbitration, Good Samaritan appealed to the court of appeals. The court of appeals dismissed the appeal, holding that it did not have appellate jurisdiction because Good Samaritan's notice of appeal was untimely. Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Soc'y v. Kolesar, 2013 Ark.App. 723, ___ S.W.3d ___. Good Samaritan petitioned for review, which this court granted, and we accepted jurisdiction of this appeal pursuant to Arkansas Supreme Court Rule l-2(e). When this court grants a petition for review, we treat the appeal as if it had been originally filed in this court. McNutt v. Yates, 2013 Ark. 427, ___ S.W.3d ___. Good Samaritan presents one issue on appeal: the circuit court erred in denying Good Samaritan's motion to compel arbitration.

Prior to reaching the merits, as a threshold issue, we first address whether we have jurisdiction of Good Samaritan's appeal from the circuit court's denial of the motion to compel arbitration. See Hernandez v. Hernandez, 371 Ark. 323, 265 S.W.3d 746 (2007).

Here, the facts pertinent to jurisdiction are as follows: On May 18, 2012, the circuit court denied Good Samaritan's motion to compel arbitration from the bench during a hearing. On May 21, 2012, the circuit court entered a general denial order denying the motion. On May 29, 2012, after the entry of the judgment, pursuant to Rule 52(b), Good Samaritan filed a timely motion for specific findings of fact and conclusions of law. See Ark. R. Civ. P. 52(b) (2013) ("Upon motion of a party made not later than 10 days after entry of judgment, the court may amend its findings of fact previously made or make additional findings and may amend the judgment accordingly.").2 The circuit court did not rule on the motion and on June 28, 2012, it was deemed denied. Id. ("If the court neither grants nor denies the motion within 30 days of the date on which it is filed or treated as filed, it shall be deemed denied as of the 30th day."). On July 20, 2012, Good Samaritan filed its notice of appeal. See Ark. R. App. P.-Civ. 4(b) (2013) ("Upon timely filing in the circuit court of a. . . motion to amend the court's findings of fact or to make additional findings under Rule 52(b), . . . made no later than 10 days after entry of judgment, the time for filing a notice of appeal shall be extended for all parties. . . . [I]f the circuit court neither grants nor denies the motion within thirty (30) days of its filing, the motion shall be deemed denied by operation of law as of the thirtieth day, and the notice of appeal shall be filed within thirty (30) days from that date."). Accordingly, Good Samaritan's notice of appeal was due no later than July 28, 2012. Here, Good Samaritan's notice of appeal was filed on July 20, 2012, and was therefore timely.

For its sole point on appeal Good Samaritan asserts that the circuit court erred in denying its motion to compel arbitration on two general bases with several subpoints on each basis: (1) there was a valid arbitration agreement and (2) the dispute falls within the scope of the agreement.

Further, when a circuit court bases its decision on more than one independent ground, as the circuit court did here when it denied the motion to compel arbitration in its entirety, and the appellant challenges fewer than all those grounds on appeal, we will affirm without addressing any of the grounds. Duke v. Shinpaugh, 375 Ark. 358, 290 S.W.3d 591 (2009); Coleman v. Regions Bank, 364 Ark. 59, 216 S.W.3d 569 (2005); Pugh v. State, 351 Ark. 5, 89 S.W.3d 909 (2002); Pearrow v. Feagin, 300 Ark. 274, 778 S.W.2d 941 (1989). Here, the circuit court entered a general denial of Good Samaritan's motion to compel arbitration in its entirety.3 Because Good Samaritan did not challenge all the grounds that the circuit court relied on in making its decision, we affirm without addressing the merits. Accordingly, we summarily affirm the circuit court's denial of Good Samaritan's motion to compel arbitration.

Affirmed; court of appeals' opinion vacated.
