Bray v. State

Supreme Court of Arkansas
Dec 11, 2008
289 S.W.3d 455 (Ark. 2008)

Opinion

No. CR 08-1363.

Opinion delivered December 11, 2008.

APPEAL ERROR — THE SUPREME COURT HAD NO BASIS ON WHICH TO ISSUE WRIT OF CERTIORARI. — The supreme court had no basis upon which to issue a writ of certiorari because petitioner failed to include any documentation indicating that the transcript was ever ordered from the court reporter, nor did he include any notice of appeal, which was necessary to confer jurisdiction on the supreme court.

Pro Se Motion for Rule on Clerk; denied.

No briefs filed.


[1] Petitioner, Michael J. Bray, has filed a motion for rule on clerk. Based on the petition, however, it appears that petitioner is seeking a writ of certiorari to complete the record pursuant to Rule 3-5 of the Rules of the Supreme Court. But, in his partial record, filed November 21, 2008, petitioner has failed to include any documentation indicating that the transcript was ever ordered from the court reporter, nor has he included any notice of appeal, which is necessary to confer jurisdiction on this court. We therefore have no basis on which to issue the writ. See Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 3-5.

Motion denied.
