APPELLEE
SUPPLEMENTAL ADDENDUM
ORDERED.
PER CURIAM
Appellant Patrick J. Benca appeals from the Benton County Circuit Court’s order
finding him in contempt of court and ordering him to pay the sum of $100. On appeal,
appellant argues that he was not in contempt of court. We assumed jurisdiction of this appeal
under Arkansas Supreme Court Rule 1-2(a)(5) because it involves the discipline of attorneys-
at-law and or arises under the power of the Supreme Court to regulate the practice of law.
We now order appellant to file a supplemental addendum within seven calendar days to cure
any deficiencies in his addendum.
Arkansas Supreme Court Rule 4-2(a)(8) (2013) 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. Here, appellant failed to include in the addendum the DVD from the
record of the May 22, 2013 hearing that he references in his argument. Because appellant

a supplemental addendum within seven calendar days from the date of this opinion. Ark. Sup.
Ct. R. 4-2(b)(4). We further 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.
