ROBERT STANDRIDGE

Petitioner

v.

HONORABLE FRED DAVIS, JUDGE

Respondent

03-933

PRO SE MOTION FOR RULE ON CLERK TO FILE MANDAMUS PETITION WITHOUT RECORD [CIRCUIT COURT OF JEFFERSON COUNTY, NO. UNKNOWN]

MOTION DISMISSED

Per Curiam

Robert Standridge tendered to this court a petition for writ of mandamus contending that the Honorable Fred Davis, a circuit judge in Jefferson County, had failed to perform some duty with respect to a motion he had filed in the Circuit Court of Jefferson County. Standridge subsequently filed the instant motion seeking to file the mandamus action without the certified record required by our clerk to file such an action.

Our Rule 6-1(a) provides that in cases in which the jurisdiction of this court is in fact appellate, although in form original, such as petitions for writs of prohibition, certiorari, or mandamus, the pleadings with certified exhibits from the trial court are treated as the record. Jackson v. Tucker, 325 Ark. 318, 927 S.W.2d 336 (1996). Without this certified record, there is no basis on which this court can assume jurisdiction of a matter. Accordingly, the motion for rule on clerk is dismissed.

Motion dismissed.
