Opinion delivered February 19, 1980
APPEAL ERROR — PETITION FOR REVIEW — BRIEFS. — Briefs filed with the Supreme Court in connection with a petition for review of a Court of Appeals decision are not to be revised, but are to be the same as those filed with the Court of Appeals. [Rule 29 (6), Rules of the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals.]
Motion to submit responsive brief; motion denied.
The motion of appellee to submit a responsive brief is denied. Appellee in his motion correctly quotes the recent revision of Rule 29, subsection 6, adopted on December 17, 1979, which in part provides: "Fourteen additional copies of the briefs previously filed shall be filed with the Clerk within two weeks after such notification." Our rule contemplates that the briefs filed with this court shall not be revised, but shall be the same as those filed with the Court of Appeals. Appellee contends that the brief filed by appellant in the Arkansas Supreme Court contains new points and arguments and is an entirely different document from the brief filed by appellant in the Court of Appeals. Appellee is mistaken. The brief filed by appellant in the Court of Appeals on July 20, 1979, is identical to the brief filed by appellant in the Supreme Court on January 17, 1980.
