A final extension of time to return the writ was granted on March 15, 2001, setting a return date of April 1, 2001. In the interim, petitions for writ of certiorari to complete the record were filed in several cases arising out of the Pulaski County Circuit Court, Fifth Division, wherein the same Court Reporter, Made-laine McClure, failed to timely complete the record for appeal. The writs were granted and issued to the Pulaski County Circuit Clerk and to Ms. McClure. In the case of Mark Singson v.

State, CR 01-342 and CR01-348, setting the date of return as May 5, 2001.
