PER CURIAM
In 2006, appellant Larry Donnell Reed entered a negotiated plea of guilty to charges of
robbery and theft of property. The court sentenced him to sixty months’ probation. Later, appellant
entered a plea of guilty to violation of his probation terms and the court again sentenced him to a
new term of sixty months’ probation. In 2007, following a trial to the court, the court revoked
appellant’s probation and sentenced appellant to 240 months’ imprisonment in the Arkansas
Department of Correction on the robbery charge. The Arkansas Court of Appeals affirmed. Reed
v. State, CACR 07-1244 (Ark. App. Apr. 23, 2008). Appellant timely filed in the trial court a
petition for postconviction relief under Arkansas Rule of Criminal Procedure 37.1 that was denied.
Appellant has lodged an appeal of the order and has now filed a pro se motion to extend the time in
which to file his brief and a motion requesting a copy of the record.

Appellant’s request for extension of time to file the appellant’s brief, which is the first such
request by appellant in this appeal, is granted, although not for the 120 days appellant requests.
Appellant’s brief is due here no later than forty days from the date of this opinion.
As for appellant’s motion for a copy of the record, we treat the request as one for access to
the record because appellant does appear to request that the copy be provided to him without charge.
Appellant is proceeding pro se and access to the record is necessary in order to prepare his brief.
We will therefore grant his request for access to the record. Our clerk is directed to provide
appellant with a copy of the record. The copy of the record must be returned to this court when
appellant’s brief is tendered or the brief will not be filed.
Motion for extension of time granted in part and denied in part; motion for copy treated as
motion for access to the record and granted.
