Hill v. State

ARKANSAS COURT OF APPEALS
DIVISION III
No. CR-14-824
KENDRICKS HILL Opinion Delivered June 17, 2015
APPELLANT
APPEAL FROM THE GARLAND
COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT
V. [NO. CR-2013-456-IV]
HONORABLE MARCIA R.
HEARNSBERGER, JUDGE
STATE OF ARKANSAS
APPELLEE SUPPLEMENTAL ADDENDUM
ORDERED
PHILLIP T. WHITEAKER, Judge
A Garland County jury convicted appellant Kendricks Hill of one count each of
possession of a controlled substance, carrying a weapon, and public intoxication. His sole
argument on appeal is that the circuit court erred in denying his request for a continuance
after his original lawyer became ill and a new attorney had to be appointed for him days
before his case was scheduled to be tried. We are unable to reach the merits of Hill’s
arguments at this time due to deficiencies in his addendum.
Arkansas Supreme Court Rule 4-2(a)(8) 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 involving a jury trial, Rule 4-2(a)(8) further specifies that the jury-verdict
forms must be included in the addendum. Id. Because Hill has not included the jury-verdict
Cite as 2015 Ark. App. 401
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. See Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-
2(b)(4). We further encourage appellate counsel to review our rules to determine if any
additional pleadings must be included in the addendum.
Supplemental addendum ordered.
