Cite as 2011 Ark. 389 SUPREME COURT OF ARKANSAS No. CR11-364 Opinion Delivered September 27, 2011 RODERICK WILLIAMS V. APPEAL FROM THE DESHA COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT, [CR-07-50-4] STATE OF ARKANSAS HON. DON GLOVER, JUDGE APPELLANT APPELLEE SUPPLEMENTAL ADDENDUM AND SUPPLEMENTAL RECORD ORDERED. PER CURIAM A Desha County jury convicted appellant Roderick Williams of capital murder, firstdegree domestic battering, endangering the welfare of a minor, and possession of a firearm by a felon. For those convictions, appellant was sentenced to a term of life imprisonment without parole plus a term of seventy-two years. For reversal, appellant argues that the circuit court erred in denying his motions for directed verdict on the capital-murder and childendangerment charges and by denying his motion for mistrial. We order appellant to file a supplemental addendum within seven calendar days to cure deficiencies in his addendum. Arkansas Supreme Court Rule 4 2(a)(8) (2011) requires that an appellant s brief include an addendum consisting of all documents essential to the appellate court s resolution of the issues on appeal. In addition, pursuant to Rule 4 2(a)(8)(A)(i), in a case where there was a jury trial, the jury-verdict forms must be included in the addendum. Because appellant Cite as 2011 Ark. 389 has not included the jury-verdict forms in his addendum, we order him to correct this deficiency by filing a supplemental addendum within seven calendar days from the date of this opinion. Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4 2(b)(4); see also In Re 4 2(b) of the Rules of the Supreme Court, 2011 Ark. 141 (per curiam). Further, our review of the record reveals that the jury-verdict forms are not contained therein. The addendum shall not contain any document or material that is not in the record. Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-2(a)(8). However, we can sua sponte direct parties to supply any omitted material by filing a certified, supplemental record. Ark. R. App. P. Civ. 6(e) (as made applicable to criminal cases by Ark. R. App. P. Crim. 4(a)). Thus, we direct appellant to supplement the record with the jury-verdict forms and to file a supplemental record with our clerk s office within seven calendar days. 2 CR11-364
