Cite as 2013 Ark. App. 134 ARKANSAS COURT OF APPEALS DIVISION I No. CA12-231 Opinion Delivered FEBRUARY 27, 2013 SALLY L. THOMAS APPELLANT APPEAL FROM THE CARROLL COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT, V. EASTERN DISTRICT [NO. CV2007-154] NADAV SHARON, M.D. and OZARKS REGIONS HEALTH SYSTEMS, INC., HONORABLE GERALD K. CROW, d/b/a ST. JOHNS HOSPITAL JUDGE APPELLEES REBRIEFING ORDERED BILL H. WALMSLEY, Judge Appellant Sally Thomas appeals from the Carroll County Circuit Courts denial of her motion for new trial following a jurys verdict finding that she sustained no damages that were proximately caused by the stipulated negligence of appellees, Nadav Sharon, M.D., and Ozarks Regions Health Systems, Inc. d/b/a St. Johns Hospital - Berryville. Because of deficiencies in Thomass addendum, we are unable to reach the merits of her argument at this time and therefore order rebriefing. Arkansas Supreme Court Rule 4-2(a)(8) (2012) provides that the appellants brief shall contain an addendum, which shall include true and legible copies of the non-transcript documents in the record on appeal that are essential for the appellate court to confirm its jurisdiction, to understand the case, and to decide the issues on appeal. Rule 4-2(a)(8)(A) provides a list of documents that the addendum must contain. Thomass original complaint,
Cite as 2013 Ark. App. 134 as a basic pleading, is an essential component of the addendum. While the deficiencies in Thomass addendum must be corrected, complete rebriefing is not necessary. Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-2(b)(4). Thomas is directed to file a supplemental addendum within seven calendar days to include all the necessary pleadings and orders in compliance with Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-2(a)(8). See, e.g., Davis v. Davis, 2012 Ark. App. 270. We encourage counsel to carefully review the record and rules prior to filing the supplemental addendum. Rebriefing ordered.
