Opinion
November 20, 1995
By per curiam order dated July 10, 1995, this court adopted the Revised Rules of Appellate Procedure to be effective January 1, 1996. See In Re: In the Matter of the Adoption of Revised Rules of Appellate Procedure, 321 Ark. 663, 900 S.W.2d 560 (1995). It has come to our attention that a conflict exists between Rule 5(b) of the Revised Arkansas Rules of Appellate Procedure — Criminal, and Rule 3-4(c) of our Supreme Court Rules on the handling of exhibits in criminal appeals. In order to make the revised Rules compatible with our Supreme Court Rules, we hereby amend Rule 5(b) of the Revised Arkansas Rules of Appellate Procedure — Criminal to read as follows:
(b) Exhibits. Photographs, charts, drawings and other documents that can be inserted into the record shall be included. Documents of unusual bulk or weight shall not be transmitted by the trial court clerk unless the clerk is directed to do so by a party or by the Clerk of the Court. Physical evidence, other than documents, shall not be transmitted unless directed by an order of the Court.
The Revised Rules of Appellate Procedure, as amended by this per curiam order, will be effective on January 1, 1996.
