JOE McKINLEY JONES APPELLANT v. STATE OF ARKANSAS APPELLEE
APPEAL FROM THE SEBASTIAN
COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT, FORT
SMITH DISTRICT
[NO. CR-2010-372]
HONORABLE J. MICHAEL
FITZHUGH, JUDGE
SUPPLEMENTAL ADDENDUM
ORDERED
PER CURIAM
This is an appeal from a Sebastian County jury trial finding Joe McKinley Jones guilty of possession of cocaine with intent to deliver and possession of drug paraphernalia. The issues on appeal are (1) whether the police had probable cause for his arrest and the subsequent search of his vehicle and (2) whether the introduction of the crime lab report without cross-examination violated his constitutional rights. Because the addendum is not in compliance with Arkansas Supreme Court Rule 4-2(a)(8), we order appellant to file a supplemental addendum.
Rule 4-2(a)(8) requires the addendum to contain all documents in the record that "are essential for the appellate court to confirm its jurisdiction, to understand the case, and to decide the issues on appeal." Specifically, the Rule requires "all motions . . . , responses, replies, exhibits, and related briefs, concerning the order, judgment or ruling challenged on appeal" be included. Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-2(a)(8)(A)(i) (2010). Because appellant has not included the State's response to Defendant's motion for discovery or the crime lab report, we direct him to correct these deficiencies by filing a supplemental addendum within seven calendar days from the date of this opinion. Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-2(b)(4). See In re 4-2(b) of the Rules of the Supreme Court, 2011 Ark. 141. We strongly 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.
