Supreme Court of Arkansas

Carter v. State

January 15, 20152015 Ark. 4

Summary

The court did not reach the merits of Carter’s speedy-trial claim or conduct its required review of prejudicial errors because his appellate brief, abstract, and addendum were deficient. It ordered Carter to file substituted materials within fifteen days, including the omitted continuance order and sufficient context for the adverse trial rulings. The State was permitted to file a responsive brief or rely on its existing brief.
