Cite as 2012 Ark. App. 223 ARKANSAS COURT OF APPEALS DIVISION II No. CACR11-791 Opinion Delivered March 28, 2012 EDWARD VINCENT SMITH APPEAL FROM THE PULASKI APPELLANT COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT, FIFTH DIVISION V. [NOS. CR-08-4909 & CR-10-536] STATE OF ARKANSAS HONORABLE WENDELL GRIFFEN, APPELLEE JUDGE DISMISSED WITH INSTRUCTIONS WAYMOND M. BROWN, Judge The Pulaski County Circuit Court convicted appellant Edward Smith of residential burglary and theft of property in case number CR-08-4909. He was sentenced to 240 months’ imprisonment. In case number CR-10-536, the Pulaski County Circuit Court convicted Smith of criminal attempt to commit capital murder, aggravated robbery, aggravated residential burglary, two counts of battery in the first degree, and theft of property. Smith was sentenced to an aggregate of 298 months’ imprisonment. The sentences received in both cases were to run concurrently with each other. Smith argues on appeal that the evidence in case CR-08-4909 was insufficient to support his convictions. As to case CR-10-536, Smith argues that the evidence does not support his theft-of-property conviction. We do not reach the merits of Smith’s arguments because he has attempted to bring a single appeal
Cite as 2012 Ark. App. 223 for two unrelated cases. 1 Here, Smith stood trial for each case on separate dates, and the judgment and commitment orders for the convictions are separate, as well as Smith’s notices of appeal. Additionally, Smith has not filed a motion to join or consolidate these two appeals before this court. Therefore, we dismiss this appeal with instructions to file separate briefs for each case. Dismissed with instructions to file a separate brief for each case. GLADWIN and GLOVER, JJ., agree. Clint Miller and Don Thompson, Deputy Public Defenders, for appellant. Dustin McDaniel, Att’y Gen., by: Karen Virginia Wallace, Ass’t Att’y Gen., for appellee. 1 See Ark. R. App. P.–Crim. 1(a) (stating that only one appeal need be taken when a defendant has been found guilty of one or more charges at a single trial). 2
