ARKANSAS COURT OF APPEALS
DIVISION I
No. CA08-466
Opinion Delivered MARCH 4, 2009
WENDY EVANS, ARTHUR EVANS, and
FRANCES EVANS
APPELLANTS
APPEAL FROM THE PULASKI COUNTY
CIRCUIT COURT,
[NO. CV2006-9380]
V.
SHAWN D. DEBOER and SNL
DISTRIBUTION SERVICES CORP.
APPELLEES
HONORABLE TIMOTHY DAVIS
FOX, JUDGE
APPEAL DISMISSED
M. MICHAEL KINARD, Judge
This appeal stems from a jury trial on claims arising out of a traffic accident. We have
no jurisdiction to consider the appeal; therefore, the appeal is dismissed.
Arkansas Rule of Appellate Procedure–Civil 3(e) sets forth what must be contained
in a valid notice of appeal. Rule 3(e) requires, among other things, that a notice of appeal
designate the judgment, decree, order or part thereof appealed from and designate the
contents of the record on appeal. Appellants have filed three separate notices of appeal, none
of which contain the above required elements under Rule 3(e). An appellant must file a valid
notice of appeal as a prerequisite to this court’s exercise of appellate jurisdiction over
appellant’s case. See Schaeffer v. City of Russellville, 52 Ark. App. 184, 916 S.W.2d 134
(1996); Glover v. Langford, 49 Ark. App. 30, 894 S.W.2d 959 (1995). Because no valid,
timely notice of appeal has been filed in this case, the appeal is dismissed for lack of
jurisdiction.
Appeal dismissed.
V AUGHT, C.J., and G LADWIN, J., agree.
