APPELLANT FAILED TO COMPLY WITH
ARK. SUP. CT. R. 6-9(g) – MOTION DENIED.– Appellant’s motion for extension of time
to supplement and file the complete record was denied because appellant requested
an extension of forty-five days when an extension of no more than seven days is
allowed, and the request failed to include the required court reporter affidavit.
Motion for Extension of Time to Supplement and File the Complete Record; denied.
Teresa L. Bloodman, for appellant.
No response.
[1] Appellant Erica Roper moves this court for an extension of time to supplement and
file the record in this dependency-neglect case. Arkansas Supreme Court Rule 6-9(g)
discusses extensions for completion of the record in dependency-neglect cases:
Only one extension for completion of the record and only one extension per
party for submission of the petition shall be granted upon a showing of manifest
injustice and only for a period of no more than seven (7) days. If the request is
based on the court reporter's inability to complete the transcript, it must be
supported by an affidavit of the reporter specifying why the transcript has not
been completed.
In the present case, Roper requests an extension of forty-five days when an extension of no
more than seven days is allowed and fails to include the required court reporter affidavit. The
motion is denied.
