Brock v. Townsell

Summary

The Supreme Court of Arkansas ordered rebriefing in an appeal from an order granting summary judgment to the mayor of Conway and denying the appellant's motion for summary judgment. The court held that the appellant's addendum was deficient under Arkansas Supreme Court Rule 4-2(a)(8) because it omitted essential pleadings and related summary-judgment materials, and allowed fifteen days to cure the deficiency.

Holdings

1. When an appellant's addendum is deficient because it omits relevant pleadings and documents essential to understanding the case and the court's jurisdiction on appeal, the Supreme Court may require the appellant to file a substituted addendum and brief within the period prescribed by Rule 4-2(b)(3).

Questions Presented

1. Whether the appellant's failure to include pleadings and documents essential to understanding the case and the court's appellate jurisdiction required rebriefing under Arkansas Supreme Court Rule 4-2.
