ARKANSAS COURT OF APPEALS
DIVISION II
No. CV-15-974
SIMON POCKRUS Opinion Delivered: February 15, 2017
APPELLANT
APPEAL FROM THE BENTON COUNTY
V. CIRCUIT COURT
[NO. CV-15-741-2]
VICTORIA MORRIS
APPELLEE HONORABLE BRAD KARREN, JUDGE
SUPPLEMENTAL ADDENDUM ORDERED
BRANDON J. HARRISON, Judge
This is an appeal from a legal-malpractice case involving Simon Pockrus and his
former attorney, Victoria Morris. Simon sued Victoria based on her representation of him
in divorce proceedings. The Benton County Circuit Court held a jury trial on Simon’s
claims against Victoria, and the jury rendered a verdict in Victoria’s favor. Simon appealed.
We cannot yet decide the merits of Simon’s appeal because he failed to comply with our
rules governing the contents of an addendum. 1
In any case where there was a jury trial, the jury’s verdict forms must be included in
the addendum. Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-2(a)(8)(A)(i). But Simon’s addendum does not include
the jury-verdict forms. Because including the verdict forms is mandatory, we order
supplementation of the addendum. We order Simon to file, within seven calendar days of
1
We also note that the language Simon used in his statement of the case was
particularly salty. We remind counsel that Arkansas Supreme Court Rule 4-2(a)(6) requires
a concise statement of the case, without argument.

this opinion, a supplemental addendum that includes the jury-verdict forms. Ark. Sup. Ct.
R. 4-2(b)(4).
