Chestang v. State

Court of Appeals of Arkansas, Division III
Oct 26, 2011
2011 Ark. App. 641 (Ark. Ct. App. 2011)

Opinion

CA CR 11-191

Opinion Delivered October 26, 2011

Appeal from the Lee County Circuit Court, [NO. CR-08-106], Honorable Olly Neal, Judge, Supplemental Addendum Ordered.


Following a jury trial, appellant Ke'Ondra Chestang was convicted of second-degree battery. Chestang argues on appeal that there was insufficient evidence to support his conviction, that the trial court erred in allowing certain testimony by the alleged victim, and that the trial court erred in denying his motion to dismiss. We order Chestang to file a supplemental addendum within seven calendar days to cure deficiencies in his addendum.

Arkansas Supreme Court Rule 4-2(a)(8) (2011) requires that an appellant's brief include an addendum consisting of all documents essential to the appellate court's resolution of the issues on appeal. In a case where there was a jury trial, the jury's verdict forms must be included in the addendum. Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-2(a)(8)(A)(i). Because Chestang has not included the jury's verdict forms in his addendum, we order him to correct this deficiency by filing a supplemental addendum within seven calendar days from the date of this opinion. Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-2(b)(4); see also In re 4-2(b) of the Rules of the Supreme Court, 2011 Ark. 141. We also encourage appellate counsel, prior to filing the supplemental addendum, to review our rules as well as the addendum to ensure that no additional deficiencies are present.

Supplemental addendum ordered.

PITTMAN and ABRAMSON, JJ., agree.
