DIVISION II
No. CR-15-866
HENRY WILLIAMS Opinion Delivered May 11, 2016
APPELLANT
APPEAL FROM THE PULASKI
V. COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT,
SEVENTH DIVISION
STATE OF ARKANSAS [NO. 60CR-14-961]
APPELLEE
HONORABLE BARRY SIMS, JUDGE
SUPPLEMENTAL ADDENDUM
ORDERED
CLIFF HOOFMAN, Judge
Henry Williams appeals after he was convicted by a Pulaski County Circuit Court jury
of battery in the first degree and sentenced to serve a total of 780 months’ imprisonment in
the Arkansas Department of Correction after applying the applicable enhancements. On
appeal, appellant contends (1) that the trial court abused its discretion when it allowed prior
bad-act evidence that was prejudicial and not independently relevant and (2) that the trial
court abused its discretion when it denied appellant’s motion for a mistrial. However, we are
unable to address the merits of his arguments at this time because of the deficiencies in his
addendum.
Arkansas Supreme Court Rule 4-2(a)(8) (2015) requires that an appellant’s brief
include an addendum consisting of all documents essential to the appellate court’s resolution
of the issues on appeal. In a case involving a jury trial, Rule 4-2(a)(8) further specifies that
the jury-verdict forms must be included in the addendum. Id. Because appellant has not
Cite as 2016 Ark. App. 261
included the jury-verdict forms in his addendum, we order him to correct this deficiency by
filing a supplemental addendum within seven calendar days from the date of this opinion. See
Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-2(b)(4); Hill v. State, 2015 Ark. App. 401. We further encourage appellate
counsel to review our rules to determine if any additional documents must be included in the
addendum.
Supplemental addendum ordered.
ABRAMSON and WHITEAKER, JJ., agree.
