Cite as 2015 Ark. App. 493 ARKANSAS COURT OF APPEALS DIVISION II No. CV-14-951 OPINION DELIVERED SEPTEMBER 23, 2015 BETHS BAIL BONDS, INC. APPELLANT APPEAL FROM THE PULASKI COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT, FIFTH DIVISION V. [NO. 60CR-13-2844, 60CV-14-1547] HONORABLE WENDELL GRIFFEN, STATE OF ARKANSAS JUDGE APPELLEE SUPPLEMENTAL ADDENDUM ORDERED ROBERT J. GLADWIN, Chief Judge Beths Bail Bonds, Inc. (BBB), appeals the Pulaski County Circuit Courts bond-forfeiture judgment filed April 17, 2014, and the July 11, 2014 order denying BBBs motion to set aside the judgment. On appeal, the bonding company contends that (1) the circuit court was without jurisdiction to enter a judgment; (2) the county attorneys office had no authority to demand judgment on behalf of the State; and (3) the circuit court abused its discretion by not setting aside the bond-forfeiture judgment under Arkansas Rule of Civil Procedure 60 (2014). We order rebriefing due to an inadequate addendum. BBBs third point on appeal asks this court to review the circuit courts decision to deny the motion to set aside the bond-forfeiture judgment. This motion was originally filed on June 11, 2014, and the response was filed on June 18, 2014. An amended motion to set aside forfeiture judgment and memorandum was filed on June 18, 2014, and the response was
Cite as 2015 Ark. App. 493 filed on the same date. The addendum filed within BBBs appellate brief contains only the original motion filed June 11, 2014, and the order denying the motion to set aside filed July 11, 2014. Arkansas Supreme Court Rule 4-2(a)(8)(A)(i) (2014) provides that, if any pleading to be included in the addendum was amended, the final version and any earlier version incorporated therein shall be included. Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 4-2(b)(4), we order BBB to file a supplemental addendum, providing the necessary pleadings, within seven calendar days from the date of this opinion.
