ARKANSAS COURT OF APPEALS
DIVISION I
No. CACR10-336
Opinion Delivered
TERRY MONTEZ MOSS
APPELLANT
November 3, 2010
APPEAL FROM THE SEBASTIAN
COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT, FORT
SMITH DISTRICT
[No. CR-09-599B]
V.
HONORABLE STEPHEN TABOR,
JUDGE
STATE OF ARKANSAS
APPELLEE
REMANDED
LARRY D. VAUGHT, Chief Judge
Terry Moss entered a conditional guilty plea to multiple drug offenses,1 reserving his
right to appeal the Sebastian County Circuit Court’s denial of his motion to suppress
evidence. His motion sought to suppress the fruits of the search of his home, which revealed
three hundred ecstasy pills, seventeen pounds of marijuana, drug paraphernalia, firearms, and
cash. On appeal, he argues that the trial court erred in denying his motion to suppress, arguing
that the affidavit that served as the basis for the search warrant was false, misleading, and
defective. While Moss’s addendum includes a copy of the motion to suppress and brief in
support, we note that the record on appeal does not. Therefore, we must remand.

Moss pled guilty to possession of marijuana with intent to deliver, maintaining a drug
premises, conspiracy to possess ecstasy with intent to deliver, and possession of drug
paraphernalia.

Arkansas Supreme Court Rule 4-2(a)(8) (2010) provides:
The addendum shall contain true and legible copies of the non-transcript documents
in the record on appeal that are essential for the appellate court to confirm its jurisdiction,
to understand the case, and to decide the issues on appeal. The addendum shall not
merely reproduce the entire record of trial court filings, nor shall it contain any document
or material that is not in the record.
(Emphasis added.) We can sua sponte direct the parties to supply any omitted material by
filing a certified, supplemental record. Rule 6(e) of the Arkansas Rules of Appellate
Procedure-Civil2 in pertinent part states:
If anything material to either party is omitted from the record by error or accident or
is misstated therein . . . the appellate court . . . on its own initiative, may direct that
the omission or misstatement shall be corrected, and if necessary, that a supplemental
record be certified and transmitted.
See also West v. West, 362 Ark. 456, 457, 208 S.W.3d 776, 778 (2005) (per curiam).
Accordingly, based on this deficiency, we remand the case to the trial court to supplement the
record. Moss has thirty days from today to file the supplemental record with our clerk’s office.
Remanded to supplement the record.
G LOVER and B AKER, JJ., agree.

Rule 6(e) of the Rules of Appellate Procedure—Civil is made applicable to criminal
cases by Rule 4(a) of the Rules of Appellate Procedure—Criminal, which states that matters
pertaining to the correction or modification of the record on appeal shall be governed by the
Rules of Appellate Procedure—Civil.
