Opinion Delivered June 18, 2014
KHALIN COLLINS APPEAL FROM THE COLUMBIA APPELLANT COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT [NO. CR-2010-191-5] V. HONORABLE LARRY CHANDLER, JUDGE STATE OF ARKANSAS APPELLEE REBRIEFING ORDERED
ROBERT J. GLADWIN, Chief Judge
Khalin Collins was convicted of three counts of arson and one count each of
commercial burglary and theft of property over $2500. On appeal, Collins challenges the
sufficiency of evidence corroborating the accomplice testimony as to all charges. However,
we do not address the issues raised because rebriefing is necessary.
Arkansas Supreme Court Rule 4-2 (2013) sets forth the requirements for the contents
of appellate briefs. Rule 4-2(a)(8)(A)(i) requires that the addendum of the appellate brief
contain the jury’s verdict forms. Collins’s addendum lacks these forms. Further, Rule 4-
2(a)(5)(B) requires that no more than one page of a transcript shall be abstracted without
giving a record page reference. Collins’s abstract violates this rule in several instances, and
gives no explanation or summary of the proceedings before testimony of the first witness is
abstracted. Rule 4-2(a)(8)(A)(i) also requires that all versions of the order being appealed Cite as
2014 Ark. App. 371from must be included in the addendum. Collins’s addendum contains only one page of the
March 21, 2013 amended sentencing order.
Therefore, because Collins’s abstract and addendum are inadequate, we order Collins
to file within fifteen days of this opinion a substituted abstract, brief, and addendum that
complies with our rules. See Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-2(b)(3). We remind counsel that the
examples we have noted are not to be taken as an exhaustive list of deficiencies and ask that
counsel carefully review the rules to ensure that no other deficiencies exist.
Rebriefing ordered.
VAUGHT and BROWN, JJ., agree.
James B. Bennett, for appellant.
Dustin McDaniel, Att’y Gen., by: Christian Harris, Ass’t Att’y Gen., for appellee.
