ARKANSAS SUPREME COURT No. NOT DESIGNATED FOR PUBLICATION GEORGE ARTHUR BUNN Appellant v. STATE OF ARKANSAS Appellee CR 05-326 Opinion Delivered June 1, 2006 PRO SE MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL COPIES OF APPELLANT’S BRIEF [CIRCUIT COURT OF WASHINGTON COUNTY, CR 2002-1064] MOTION GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART (FINAL EXTENSION) PER CURIAM In 2002, appellant George Arthur Bunn was found guilty by a jury of two counts of the offense of being a felon in possession of a firearm. He was sentenced as a habitual offender to 240 months' imprisonment. The Arkansas Court of Appeals affirmed. Bunn v. State, CACR 03-280 (Ark. App. March 3, 2004). Appellant subsequently timely filed in the trial court a pro se petition for postconviction relief pursuant to Ark. R. Crim. P. 37.1. The petition was denied following a hearing, and appellant has lodged an appeal from that order in this court. Appellant filed a brief that did not conform to our rules and was directed to submit another brief. Bunn v. State, CR 05-326 (Ark. February 2, 2006) (per curiam). Appellant tendered two copies of his new brief rather than the seventeen copies required by Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-3(d) with a motion for duplication of the brief at public expense. The motion was denied. Bunn v. State, CR 05-326 (Ark. March 16, 2006) (per curiam). We denied a request for reconsideration of the motion for duplication of the brief and directed appellant to provide within fifteen days the additional copies of the brief to make up the total of seventeen copies of the brief required by Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-3(d). Bunn v. State, CR 05-326 (Ark. April 27, 2006) (per curiam). Now before us appellant’s motion seeking an extension of thirty days’ time to provide the additional copies of the brief. The motion is granted but not for the thirty days’ extension requested. The time is extended to fifteen days from the date of this opinion. As appellant has been afforded ample opportunity to file the appellant’s brief in this appeal, no further extensions of time will be entertained. Motion granted in part and denied in part. (Final extension.) -2-
