Motion to Dismiss; granted. Appellant, pro se No response. ER CLIIUAM. Lucious Arter filed a motion to dismiss Lee p Huffs appeal from summary judgment entered by the Lee County Circuit Court. The order entering summary judgment was filed August 10, 2004, and Huff filed a notice of appeal on September 8, 2004. Arter asserts that the appeal must be dismissed because the notice of appeal is defective and because the record was not timely filed. Under Ark. R. App. 1 3 .—Civ. 5, the record must be filed within ninety days of the date that the notice of appeal was filed. That meant Huff had to file the record by December 7, 2004. [1] Huff tendered a partial record to this court on Decem-ber 6, 2004, along with a petition for a writ of certiorari to complete the record and a motion to proceed in forma pauperis. The motion to proceed informa pauperis was denied in a January 13, 2005, letter from this court that directed Huff to pay the filing fees by January 20, 2005. Huff did not pay the fees, and the complete record was not filed by January 20, 2005. His appeal is therefore dismissed for failure to timely file the record. S, Rank t■ Milburn, 352 Ark% 144.
14 [361 100 S.W.3d 674 (2003). Because we dismiss the appeal based on a failure to timely file the record, we do not reach the issue of the alleged defects in the notice of appeal.
