Halfacre v. Kelley

Summary

The court granted Halfacre’s motion for rule on the clerk because the circuit clerk’s failure to file-mark the order denying in forma pauperis status established good cause for the incomplete appeal record. It held that the timely notice of appeal conferred appellate jurisdiction and that the record must be supplemented with certified, file-marked copies of the relevant order and pleadings, including the habeas petition. The matter was remanded for supplementation within ten days.
