                                 APPELLEE
                                                  REMANDED TO SETTLE AND
                                                  SUPPLEMENT THE RECORD;
                                                  SUPPLEMENTAL ADDENDUM
                                                  ORDERED


                           BRANDON J. HARRISON, Judge

       A Conway County jury convicted Michael E. Childers of second-degree domestic

battering in 2014. He challenges the sufficiency of the evidence here, but we cannot yet

reach the merits of his appeal because there are record and briefing deficiencies.

       We start by addressing the April 30 sentencing order that Childers appeals. As the

State points out in its brief, the sentencing order reflects that the court convicted Childers.

The sentencing order should be changed to reflect that a jury trial occurred. Additionally,

the “A.C.A. # Org. Charge” box on the sentencing order incorrectly lists section 5-26-

303 as the statute under which Childers was originally charged. It should read 5-26-304,



                                              1
                                 Cite as 2015 Ark. App. 432

as the operative criminal complaint states. Additionally, the following boxes have not

been completed on page 1:

    Change of venue
    Waiver of right to counsel
    Whether the victim was male or female

The following boxes have not been completed on page 2:

    The name of the domestic-violence-related offense with which the defendant was
       originally charged
    The relationship of the victim to the defendant
    To whom fines and fees are to be paid

       Nor does the record have the stage-two jury-verdict form in it.            The record

therefore needs to be settled and supplemented on remand with the missing stage-two

jury-verdict form and an amended and corrected sentencing order.

       Childers’s addendum lacks some necessary documents, too.            Arkansas Supreme

Court Rule 4-2(a)(8) requires an addendum to contain all documents in the record that

“are essential for the appellate court to confirm its jurisdiction, to understand the case, and

to decide the issues on appeal.” Specifically, the Rule requires “the pleadings . . . all

motions. . ., responses, replies, exhibits, and related briefs, concerning the order, judgment

or ruling challenged on appeal” to be included. Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-2(a)(8)(A)(i) (2014).

Childers’s addendum lacks: all of the criminal pleadings in the case; the trial exhibits,

including pictures of the physical injuries the State alleged; and the Arkansas Supreme

Court per curiam opinion that is necessary for us to confirm our jurisdiction. Because

these documents are essential to our understanding of the case, they should be included in

                                              2

the supplemental addendum. See Clark v. State, 2012 Ark. App. 60. Childers should also

add the new material contained in the certified, supplemental record to his supplemental

addendum. We caution that this is not necessarily an exhaustive list of deficiencies. So

counsel should carefully examine the record and review the rules before submitting a

supplemental addendum.

       Turning to the State’s brief, it cites directly to the record without providing an

abstract or addendum page reference. Appellants and appellees are held to the same

standard. In the future, if the State identifies deficiencies in an appellant’s abstract or

addendum, then it should present the information in a manner prescribed by Ark. Sup.

Ct. R. 4-2.

        We remand this case to settle and supplement the record in accordance with

Arkansas Rule of Appellate Procedure–Civil 6(e) (2014) and Arkansas Rule of Appellate

Procedure–Criminal 4(a) (2014).      Childers must file a certified, supplemental record

containing (a) an amended sentencing order, and (b) the missing stage-two jury-verdict

form within thirty days of this opinion’s date. The supplemental addendum will be due

within seven calendar days after Childers files the supplemental record with this court’s

clerk. Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-2(b)(4). The State should then, if it chooses to respond to

Childers’s supplemental addendum, file a substituted appellee’s brief within fifteen days of

the filing of the supplemental addendum. See Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-2(c)(2) and 4-2(b)(3).

       Remanded to settle and supplement the record; supplemental addendum ordered.

       GLOVER, J., agrees.

       KINARD, J., concurs.
