Cite as 2011 Ark. 385 SUPREME COURT OF ARKANSAS No. CR10-1223 Opinion Delivered September 22, 2011 KEVIN DIXON APPELLANT MOTION TO SUPPLEMENT RECORD ON APPEAL V. STATE OF ARKANSAS MOTION TO SUPPLEMENT APPELLEE RECORD ON APPEAL GRANTED; SUPPLEMENTAL ADDENDUM ORDERED. PER CURIAM Kevin Dixon was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. Dixon filed a timely notice of appeal and timely filed his briefs, abstract, addendum, and record. Dixons record was deficient in that it did not include the jury-verdict forms signed by the foreman. Dixon submitted a Motion to Supplement the Record on Appeal and submitted the jurys verdict form with that motion. We grant the motion. Arkansas Supreme Court Rule 4-2(a)(8) (2011) also requires that an appellants brief include an addendum consisting of all documents essential to the appellate courts resolution of the issues on appeal. In addition, pursuant to Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-2 (a)(8)(A)(i), in a case where there was a jury trial, the jurys verdict forms must be included in the addendum. Dixon failed to include this document in his addendum. Because there is a deficiency in appellants addendum that must be corrected, we order appellant to file a supplemental

We encourage appellate counsel, prior to filing the supplemental addendum, to review our rules as well as the addendum to ensure that no additional deficiencies are present. Motion to supplement record on appeal granted; supplemental addendum ordered. 2
