JONATHAN BERKS APPELLANT v. STATE OF ARKANSAS APPELLEE


APPELLEE'S MOTION TO DISMISS APPEAL
[GARLAND COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT, NO. 26CR-10-248]
HONORABLE JOHN HOMER WRIGHT, JUDGE MOTION DENIED; BRIEFING SCHEDULE TO BE SET. PER CURIAM

Appellant Jonathan Berks filed a motion in this court to proceed with a belated appeal of the dismissal of his timely petition under Arkansas Rule of Criminal Procedure 37.1 (2014). Because Berks was not provided timely notice of an order that disposed of a motion for a ruling on omitted issues, the motion was granted. Berks v. State, 2015 Ark. 234, 463 S.W.3d 289 (per curiam). The appellee State has now filed a motion to dismiss the appeal on the basis that Berks failed to file a brief. We deny the motion.

Although the State asserts that Berks has failed to timely file his brief, through clerical error, no briefing schedule was set. Berks has therefore not failed to submit a timely brief, and our clerk is again directed to set a briefing schedule.

Motion denied; briefing schedule to be set.
