DIVISION I No. CR-18-836

APPELLANT

APPELLEE

Opinion Delivered: May 29, 2019

APPEAL FROM THE PULASKI COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT, FOURTH DIVISION

[NOS. 60CR-17-4171, 60CR-17-4358]

HONORABLE HERBERT WRIGHT, JUDGE

SUPPLEMENTAL ADDENDUM ORDERED

BRANDON J. HARRISON, Judge Donnie Lee Holmes argues that substantial evidence does not exist to support his convictions for first-degree terroristic threatening and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Because Holmes’s addendum lacks some necessary information, we may not yet decide this appeal’s merit. Arkansas Supreme Court Rule 4-2(a)(8) requires an addendum to contain all documents in the record that are “essential for the appellate court to confirm its jurisdiction, to understand the case, and to decide the issues on appeal.” Specifically, the rule requires the appellant to include in the addendum any exhibits “concerning the order, judgment or ruling challenged on appeal.” Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-2(a)(8)(A)(i) (2018). Here, State’s exhibits nos. 1, 2, and 3 are (1) a “voicemail” from Holmes, (2) alleged threatening text messages sent by Holmes, and (3) a certified prior conviction. Holmes has

not included these exhibits in his addendum, but we need copies of these exhibits because they are necessary to decide this case. Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-2(a)(8)(A)(i). We therefore order Holmes to file a supplemental addendum within seven calendar days of this opinion’s date. Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-2(b)(4). Supplemental addendum ordered. GRUBER, C.J., and ABRAMSON, J., agree. William R. Simpson, Jr., Public Defender, by: Clint Miller, Deputy Public Defender, for appellant. Leslie Rutledge, Att’y Gen., by: Adam Jackson, Ass’t Att’y Gen., for appellee.
