Opinion

CR10-1036

Opinion Delivered September 2, 2011

Appeal from the Garland County Circuit Court [No. CR-2008-532-IV] Hon. Marcia R. Hearnsberger, Judge Supplemental Addendum Ordered.


Appellant was found guilty of capital murder by a jury and sentenced to life imprisonment. On appeal, appellant argues that the circuit court erred in denying his motion to suppress his statement to the police. We order appellant to file a supplemental 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 addition, pursuant to Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-2(a)(8)(A)(i), in a case where there was a jury trial, the jury's verdict forms must be included in the addendum. The jury verdict forms in the present case are not included in appellant's addendum. Because there is a deficiency in appellant's addendum that must be corrected, we order appellant to file a supplemental addendum within seven calendar days 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 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.
