Cite as 2014 Ark. App. 371 ARKANSAS COURT OF APPEALS DIVISION I No. CR-13-537 Opinion Delivered June 18, 2014 KHALIN COLLINS APPEAL FROM THE COLUMBIA APPELLANT COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT [NO. CR-2010-191-5] V. HONORABLE LARRY CHANDLER, JUDGE STATE OF ARKANSAS APPELLEE REBRIEFING ORDERED ROBERT J. GLADWIN, Chief Judge Khalin Collins was convicted of three counts of arson and one count each of commercial burglary and theft of property over $2500. On appeal, Collins challenges the sufficiency of evidence corroborating the accomplice testimony as to all charges. However, we do not address the issues raised because rebriefing is necessary. Arkansas Supreme Court Rule 4-2 (2013) sets forth the requirements for the contents of appellate briefs. Rule 4-2(a)(8)(A)(i) requires that the addendum of the appellate brief contain the jurys verdict forms. Collinss addendum lacks these forms. Further, Rule 4-2(a)(5)(B) requires that no more than one page of a transcript shall be abstracted without giving a record page reference. Collinss abstract violates this rule in several instances, and gives no explanation or summary of the proceedings before testimony of the first witness is abstracted. Rule 4-2(a)(8)(A)(i) also requires that all versions of the order being appealed
Cite as 2014 Ark. App. 371 from must be included in the addendum. Collinss addendum contains only one page of the March 21, 2013 amended sentencing order. Therefore, because Collinss abstract and addendum are inadequate, we order Collins to file within fifteen days of this opinion a substituted abstract, brief, and addendum that complies with our rules. See Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-2(b)(3). We remind counsel that the examples we have noted are not to be taken as an exhaustive list of deficiencies and ask that counsel carefully review the rules to ensure that no other deficiencies exist. Rebriefing ordered. VAUGHT and BROWN, JJ., agree. James B. Bennett, for appellant. Dustin McDaniel, Atty Gen., by: Christian Harris, Asst Atty Gen., for appellee. 2
