ARK.] 225 Dave BRIDGER, Jr. v. J. M. MOONEY 82-152 644 S. .2d 929 Supreme Court of Arkansas Opinion delivered January 24, 1983 [Rehearing denied February 21, 1983.] 1. APPEAL & ERROR — ABSTRACT INSUFFICIENT — TRIAL COURT AFFIRMED. — Where the abstract contained neither the plead-ings, the requests for admissions, the exhibits, nor the decree of the court, it was impossible for the appellate court to read the abstracted pages of the testimony with any comprehension of the issues that were before the trial court or how the trial court ruled on those issues; since the appellant has failed to comply with Rule 9 (d) of the Rules of the Supreme Court, the trial court is affirmed. 2. APPEAL & ERROR — RULES NOT RELAXED FOR PRO SE BRIEFS. — The Rules of the Supreme Court do not provide for relaxed standards for pro se briefs. Appeal from Johnson Circuit Court; Robert Hays Wil-liams, Judge; affirmed. Appellant, pro se. Young & Finley, by: James K. Young, for appellee. FRANK HOLT, Justice. The appellant has failed to comply with Rule 9 (d) of the Rules of the Supreme Court, so we affirm the trial court. The abstract contains neither the pleadings, the requests for admissions, the exhibits, nor the decree of the court. The defects in the abstract are almost identical to those that caused the appeal to be affirmed in Bank of Ozark v. Isaacs, 263 Ark. 113, 563 S.W.2d 707 (1978). Here, as there, it is impossible for us to read the abstracted pages of the testimony with any comprehension of the issues that were before the trial court or how the trial court ruled on those issues. We recognize that the appellant, who is not a lawyer, represented himself in this appeal. However, our rules do not provide for relaxed standards for pro se briefs. Furthermore, the appellant has represented himself before this court
on two prior occasions, once successfully, so he should not be a stranger to the rules governing appeals to this court. Affirmed.
