April 14, 20162016 Ark. LEXIS 133
Summary
The court affirmed the nunc pro tunc order clarifying that the requirements for extending the time to lodge the appellate record had been satisfied when the original extension was granted. It denied the motion to dismiss because the appellate rules permitted correction and supplementation of an omitted portion of the record. The court also affirmed approval of the probate settlement, concluding that unresolved legal issues and the record supported the finding that the compromise was in the estate's best interest, and denied sanctions.
