Cite as 2012 Ark. App. 45 ARKANSAS COURT OF APPEALS DIVISION III No. CACR11-16 LORI ANN PAMPLIN Opinion Delivered January 11, 2012 APPELLANT APPEAL FROM THE GRANT V. COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT, [NO. CR2009-107-2] STATE OF ARKANSAS HONORABLE PHILLIP H. APPELLEE SHIRRON, JUDGE MOTION TO WITHDRAW DENIED; REBRIEFING ORDERED RAYMOND R. ABRAMSON, Judge After pleading guilty to three counts each of residential burglary and theft of property, appellant Lori Pamplin was sentenced to a total of thirty years imprisonment and ordered to pay restitution. Appellants counsel has filed a no-merit brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and Arkansas Supreme Court Rule 4-3(k) (2011), along with a motion to be relieved as counsel, asserting that there is no issue of arguable merit in an appeal of these convictions. Appellant has filed pro se points for reversal, to which the State has responded. We must order rebriefing because counsel failed to include an adverse ruling made during closing arguments. See Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-3(k); Sartin v. State, 2010 Ark. 16. Additionally, we note that the briefs argument section, which consists of only one page, is deficient.
Cite as 2012 Ark. App. 45 Counsel has fifteen days from the date of this opinion in which to file a substituted brief curing the above-noted deficiencies. We strongly encourage counsel, prior to filing another substituted brief, abstract, and addendum, to review our rules and avoid additional deficiencies. Motion to withdraw denied; rebriefing ordered. HART and ROBBINS, JJ., agree. Bob Frazier, for appellant. Dustin McDaniel, Atty Gen., by: Valerie Glover Fortner, Asst Atty Gen., for appellee. 2
