v.
STATE OF ARKANSAS
Appellee
March 12, 2009
PRO SE PETITION FOR WRIT OF
CERTIORARI AND SUPPLEMENT
TO PETITION [CIRCUIT COURT
OF INDEPENDENCE COUNTY, CR
2007-214]
PETITION GRANTED; WRIT OF
CERTIORARI ISSUED.
PER CURIAM
Appellant Zane Fair filed a partial record in this court to appeal a judgment entered in
Independence County Circuit Court reflecting appellant’s conviction on two counts of
criminal trespass and one count of terroristic threatening. Appellant then filed a petition in
which he sought a writ of certiorari to bring up the transcribed portion of the proceedings in
order to complete the record. Because we could not determine whether arrangements were
in place to pay for the costs of the transcript, we declined to issue the writ, but allowed
appellant to resubmit his request, along with appropriate verification that arrangements had
been made to pay the costs of the transcript. Fair v. State, CR 08-1203 (Ark. Dec. 11, 2008)
(per curiam).
Appellant resubmitted his request for a writ of certiorari, along with his statement that
he had made arrangements to pay the cost of the transcripts, but he did not verify that he had
placed a deposit with the court reporter, or provide a statement from the court reporter

verifying that arrangements were in place. We again denied the petition, without prejudice
to the extent that, within a set time, appellant could again file a petition for writ of certiorari
with a statement from the court reporter or a copy of a receipt showing that a deposit had
been placed with the reporter for the transcripts or other acceptable evidence that
arrangements had been made. Fair v. State, CR 08-1203 (Ark. Jan. 22, 2009) (per curiam).
Prior to expiration of the set period, appellant submitted another petition for writ of
certiorari. He attached to his petition a copy of a cashier’s check made out to the court
reporter and later submitted a supplement to the petition that included a copy of a receipt
from the court reporter. As petitioner has now shown that appropriate financial arrangements
have been made, we grant the petition. We direct that a writ of certiorari be issued to the
Independence County Circuit Court to complete and file with our clerk a certified
supplemental record containing the transcript of appellant’s trial in the pending case 1 within
thirty days of the date of this order.
Petition granted; writ of certiorari issued.
