Opinion Delivered October 22, 2014 ALVESTER BINGHAM APPELLANT APPEAL FROM THE DESHA COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT V. [NO. CV-12-54-3] C & L ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE HONORABLE ROBERT BYNUM APPELLEE GIBSON, JR., JUDGE

SUPPLEMENTAL ADDENDUM ORDERED BILL H. WALMSLEY, Judge Appellant Alvester Bingham appeals from the trial court’s order granting appellee C&L Electric Cooperative’s motion for summary judgment. Due to deficiencies in appellant’s addendum, we cannot reach the merits of the appeal. Neither appellant’s complaint nor appellee’s answer or amended and substituted answer were included in appellant’s addendum.

Arkansas Supreme Court Rule 4-2(a)(8) requires the addendum to contain documents in the record on appeal that are essential for the appellate court to confirm its jurisdiction, to understand the case, and to decide the issues on appeal. The addendum must include the pleadings on which the circuit court decided each issue, including the complaint and answer.

Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-2(a)(8)(A)(i). Therefore, pursuant to Rule 4-2(b)(4), we order appellant to file a supplemental addendum within seven calendar days to provide the necessary pleadings.
